A 5 yr old child weighs 55 pound. The licensed practioner orders him to receive Zinacef 50 mg/kg day IM q6h. How many milligrams of medication should the child receive in one dose
Homework Answers
Order= 50 mg/ kg /day
Frequency= 6 hourly.
WEIGHT OF THE CHILD IS 55 POUNDS
TO CONVERT POUNDS INTO KILOGRAMS
1 POUND = 0.454 KGS.
55 POUNDS = 0.454 X 55 = 24.9476
APPROX = 25 KGS WEIGHT OF THE CHILD
DAILY NEEDED DOSE IS = 50 MG /KG ( BODY WEIGHT )
= 50 MG X 25 KGS ( BODY WEIGHT )
= 1250 MG DRUG IS NEEDED IN ONE DAY / 24 HOURS.
IN A DAY THERE ARE 24 HOURS
FREQUENCY IS Q6H MEANS AT THE INTERVAL OF EVERY 6 HOURS
NUMBER OF TIMES THE DRUG WILL BE GIVEN IN A 24 HOURS OF PERIOD AT THE INTERVAL OF 6 HOURS IS
= 24 / 6 = 4 TIMES THE DRUG WILL BE ADMINISTERED.
IN ONE DAY THE CHILD RECEIVES = 1250 MG
IN SINGLE TIME THE CHILD WILL RECEIVE = 1250 MG / 4 ( Q 6 H )
= 312.5 MG / DOSE
THE CHILD WILL RECEIVE 312.5 MG OF THE DRUG IN ONE DOSE.
