A nurse is preparing to administer a medication with a recommended dose of 5 mg/kg. The client weighs 70 kg. How many mg of the medication should the nurse administer?
To calculate the dose of a medication based on the client’s weight, the nurse should multiply the recommended dose by the client’s weight in kg. In this case, the recommended dose is 5 mg/kg and the client weighs 70 kg, so the nurse should administer 5 mg/kg x 70 kg = 350 mg of the medication.
The correct dose is 350 mg, not 300 mg.
The correct dose is 350 mg, not 250 mg.
The correct dose is 350 mg, not 200 mg.
