A nurse is preparing to acetaminophen 10/mg/kg PO to a preschool child for fever. The child 22 lb. Available is acetaminophen liquid 160 mg/5 Ml. How many mL should the nurse administer (Round the answer to nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero)

Step 1 is to convert pounds to kilograms: (22 ÷ 2.2) = 10 Result = 10 kg Step 2 is to calculate the total dose in mg: 10 × 10 = 100 Result = 100 mg Step 3 is to find out how many mL contains 100 mg when 160 mg is in 5 mL: (100 ÷ 160) × 5 = Step 3a is (100 ÷ 160) = 0.625 Step 3b is 0.625 × 5 = 3.125 Result = 3.125 mL Step 4 is to round to the nearest tenth: 3.125 rounds to 3.1 Final result = 3.1 mL
