What will be an ideal response? Title: The nurse is preparing to administer subcutaneous epinephrine hydrochloride (Adrenalin) 0.01 mg/kg ... Post by: aemedeiros623 on Feb 6, 2018 0.40 mg
Feedback: The nurse needs to first determine the patient's weight in kilograms by dividing the weight in pounds by 2.2 or 88 / 2.2 = 40 kg. Then the nurse is to multiply the dose of 0.01 mg by the weight or 0.01 mg 40 kg = 0.40 . The nurse is to provide the patient with 0.40 ml of the medication. |
