A nurse is preparing to administer metronidazole 7.5 mg\/kg via intermittent IV bolus to a client who weighs 212 lb. Available is metronidazole 500 mg\/100 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The correct answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n To determine how many mL of metronidazole the nurse should administer, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Explanation<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, we convert the weight of the client from pounds to kilograms because medication dosages are typically calculated based on body weight in kilograms. The dose required for the client is calculated by multiplying the weight in kilograms by the dosage per kilogram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, the concentration of the metronidazole solution is determined, which tells us how many milligrams of metronidazole are in each milliliter of the solution. By dividing the total required dose by this concentration, we find the volume of the solution needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rounding to the nearest whole number ensures that the volume administered is practical and aligns with typical clinical practice. Thus, the nurse should administer 144 mL<\/strong> of metronidazole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A nurse is preparing to administer metronidazole 7.5 mg\/kg via intermittent IV bolus to a client who weighs 212 lb.
