One must have an account at Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (lww.com) in order to have access to medication links ---they've been removed.

Check out their section for nursing students, along with Nursing Center clinical resources drug update section.

Solumedrol 1.5mg/kg is ordered for a child weighing 74.8 lb. Solumedrol is available as 125mg/2ml. how many mL must the nurse administer.

The child is 15.4lb, convert this to kg.
1kg=2.2046 lb so the child is 15.4lbx1kg/2.2046lb=6.98kg
Min.mg can be administered;
6.98kg x 75mg / 1kg = 523,5mg

Max.mg;
6.98kg x 150mg / 1kg = 1047mg

Every 8h 200mg, daily 200mg x 3 = 600mg that is within in the desired dose.

The child is 74.8lb x 1kg / 2.2046lb =33.92kg
The kid needs to receive (33.92kg x 1.5mg) / 1kg =50.88mg of the med. Which is
(50.88mg x 2ml) / 125mg = 0.81ml
