A child who weighs 10 kg is to receive Motrin 8 mg/kg po q4h prn for pain. The label reads 100 mg/5 mL. How much will you administer?
- A. 4 mL
- B. 2 mL
- C. 5 mL
- D. 3 mL
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the dosage, multiply the child's weight (10 kg) by the dosage (8 mg/kg) which equals 80 mg. Since the concentration is 100 mg/5 mL, to find out how much to administer, you need to determine how many 5 mL doses are in 80 mg. It will be 80 mg · 100 mg * 5 mL = 4 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 4 mL. Choice B, 2 mL, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct dosage calculation. Choice C, 5 mL, is incorrect as it does not consider the dosage based on the child's weight. Choice D, 3 mL, is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate dosage calculation.
A mother reports to the nurse that her 6-year-old child is highly active, irritable, irregular in habits, and adapts slowly to new routines, people, or situations. Which pattern of temperament would best describe the child?
- A. The 'easy' child
- B. The 'difficult' child
- C. The 'slow-to-warm-up' child
- D. The 'fast-to-warm-up' child
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The 'difficult' child is the best way to describe the child in this scenario. This temperament is characterized by high activity levels, irritability, irregular habits, and difficulty adapting to changes. Choice A, the 'easy' child, is known for being generally positive and adaptable. Choice C, the 'slow-to-warm-up' child, typically needs time to adapt to new situations but is not necessarily highly active or irritable. Choice D, the 'fast-to-warm-up' child, adapts quickly to new situations, which contrasts with the child's slow adaptation mentioned in the scenario.

The nurse is caring for a child with sickle cell anemia with the following order: Morphine Sulfate 2 mg IV every 24 hours. Morphine Sulfate is available in 10 mg/1mL. How many mL should the nurse administer?
- A. 0.2 mL
- B. 0.5 mL
- C. 1 mL
- D. 2 mL
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To administer 2 mg of Morphine Sulfate when the concentration is 10 mg/mL, the nurse should administer 0.2 mL (2 mg / 10 mg/mL = 0.2 mL). Choice B, 0.5 mL, is incorrect because it is the result of dividing 2 mg by 4 mg/mL instead of 10 mg/mL. Choice C, 1 mL, is incorrect as it would be the result of dividing 2 mg by 2 mg/mL. Choice D, 2 mL, is incorrect as it would be the result of dividing 2 mg by 1 mg/mL.
