Ati N300 math retake ( 20 Questions)
Question 1 of 20 :
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative hip arthroplasty and has a new prescription for drug E 1mg/kg/dose subcutaneous every 12 hr. The client weighs 191 lbs. How many mg should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 86.6
Convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms
1 pound (lb) = 0.453592 kilograms (kg)
191 lbs × 0.453592 kg/lb = 86.636072 kg
Calculate the dosage in milligrams (mg)
The prescription is 1 mg/kg/dose.
86.636072 kg × 1 mg/kg = 86.636072 mg
Round the answer to the nearest tenth
86.636072 mg to the nearest tenth is 86.6 mg.
