Question 11 :
The healthcare provider prescribes ceftazidime 30 mg/kg/day for an infant weighing 3,500 grams. What dose should the nurse administer daily to this infant? (Enter numeric value only.)
Correct Answer: ["105 mg"]
To calculate the daily dose, use the formula dose = (dose per kg per day x weight in kg). Therefore, dose = (30 x 3.5) = 105 mg. The nurse should administer 105 mg daily to this infant.
