Available is amikacin injection 250 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if applicable. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Explanation
To answer this question, you need to perform the following steps:
Convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms by dividing by 2.2. 110 lb / 2.2 = 50 kg.
Calculate the dose of amikacin in milligrams by multiplying the client's weight by the prescribed dose per kilogram. 50 kg x 5 mg/kg = 250 mg.
Calculate the volume of amikacin in milliliters by dividing the dose in milligrams by the concentration of the injection. 250 mg / 250 mg/mL = 1 mL.
Round the answer to the nearest whole number. The nurse should administer 1 mL of amikacin IM to the client.
