    Wouldn't be the example #4 675mg? 9.5 times 50mg = 475

    • @ClaudiaMalone-yi1ww
      @ClaudiaMalone-yi1ww ปีที่แล้ว +2

      She doesn't show it on the slide, but if you use a calculator, the weight is 9.545454 kg. Multiply that number by 50 mg and that's how you get 477.27272. Round up the final number to 477 mg.

    on example #4a did you mean to put 475 and not 477 because i checked 3 different calculators and all 3 said that 50*9.5=475?

    • @PRINCESS2U_
      @PRINCESS2U_ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think she did because I'm like in my calculator it said a solid 475 I had to look in the comments to see if anyone else caught that!

    • @sicktwinz9781
      @sicktwinz9781 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I believe it’s because when you initially divide the weight (21lbs by 2.2kg) you get 9.5454545 and times that by 50mg you get 477 in total instead of 475.
      Hope this helps.

    I believe example #2 answer should be half of 670mg because frequency is q12h.

    • @snotrajohnson
      @snotrajohnson ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The dose is stated as 10 mg/kg every 12 hours. In other words, that is the individual dose that’s given every 12 hours; no need to divide it.
      If it said 10 mg/kg/d every 12 hours, then we’d divide the daily amount by the number of doses in a day.
      Hope this helps anyone wondering about the same thing.

      @@TheJunkiess69 If the dosage is stated as mg/kg every 12 hours, that is not the daily dose - it’s the dose each time it’s given to the patient, which in this case is every 12 hours.
      10 mg/kg/d is the daily dosage in mg/kg. If giving the medicine every 12 hours, divide the stated daily dosage by 24h to get the hourly dosage then multiply by 12h to get the dose for every 12 hours.
      So, for a 24 kg patient:
      Basis = 10 mg/kg q12h
      10 mg/kg x 24 kg = 240 mg
      Dosage = 240 mg given every 12 hours (with a daily total of 240 mg/12h x 24 h = 480 mg)
      vs:
      Basis = 10 mg/kg/d q12h
      10 mg/kg/d x 24 kg = 240 mg/d
      240 mg/d x (1 d/24 h) = 10 mg/h x 12 h = 120 mg/12 h
      Dosage = 120 mg given every 12 hours (with a daily total of 120 mg/12 h x 24 h = 240 mg)

      Have you been struggling with NCLEX be it LPN, RN, or CNA, have you taken the exam for more than once? Are you taking it for the first time? Do you have a too busy schedule to study? Get to Dr Needham for your NCLEX assistance. I’m so happy I finally passed my exams thanks to him. He’s got a magical qbank which will help you become a RN
