The nurse is caring for a child prescribed penicillin 15 mg/kg every 6 hours for peritonitis. The child weighs 45 lb. How many milligrams will the nurse administer to this child in 24 hours? Round the final weight to the hundredths place. Round the medication dose to the tenths place.
The nurse will administer 1227.2 milligrams to this child in 24 hours.
Solve pt weight: 45/2.2= 20.45 (rounded to hundredths place)
To calculate, first determine how many milligrams are given per dose by multiplying the child's weight (kg) by 15 mg. 15 mg x 20.45 kg = 306.8 mg per dose. (rounded to tenth place)
The child is prescribed a dose every 6 hours. To determine how many doses the child will get in 24 hours, divide 24 by 6. 24/6 = 4.
Now, multiply the number of doses given in a day by the milligrams given in each dose to determine the total milligrams given in 24 hours. 4 x 306.8 mg = 1227.2 mg in 24 hours.
