mg/5 mL oral syrup. Which of the following images shows the correct # of mL
the nurse should administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
Click on the syringe that has 8 mL of med.
20 mg x (5mL/12.5mg) = 8 mL
5. A nurse is caring for a 6-year-old child who has a new prescription for cefoxitin
80 mg/kg/day administered intravenously every 6 hour. The child weighs 20 kg.
How much cefoxitin should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the
answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a
trailing zero.)
So it says each dose for the final answer, but we are given 80 mg/kg/day.
80 x 20 = 1600 / 4 (dose is given every 6 hours a day) = 400 mg [Show Less]
