A nurse is administering prochlorperazine 0.13 mg/kg IM to a child who weighs 55 lb. Available is prochlorperazine injection 5 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Identify the given information: Dose of prochlorperazine: 0.13 mg/kg Weight of the child: 55 lb Concentration of prochlorperazine injection: 5 mg/mL Convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms: 1 lb ≈ 0.453592 kg Calculate the total dose of prochlorperazine in mg: Total dose = Dose/kg x Weight (kg) Substitute the values: Total dose = 0.13 mg/kg x 55 lb x (0.453592 kg/1 lb) Total dose ≈ 3.4 mg Calculate the volume of prochlorperazine injection to be administered: Volume = Total dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Substitute the values: Volume = 3.4 mg / 5 mg/mL Volume ≈ 0.68 mL Round the answer to the nearest hundredth: Volume ≈ 0.65 mL
