A nurse is preparing to administer acetaminophen 10 mg/kg PO every 6 hr to a toddler who weighs 26.4 lb. Available is acetaminophen 80 mg/0.8 mL liquid. How many mL should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Toddler's weight: 26.4 lb 1 lb = 0.453592 kg (conversion factor) Weight in kilograms = 26.4 lb × 0.453592 kg/lb ≈ 11.979 kg Calculate the total dosage based on the toddler's weight: Total dosage = 10 mg/kg × 11.979 kg ≈ 119.79 mg Determine the volume of acetaminophen solution needed based on the concentration provided: Available concentration: 80 mg/0.8 mL Dosage required: 119.79 mgUsing the formula: Volume (mL) = Dosage required (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) = 119.79 mg / 80 mg/0.8 mL ≈ 1.2 mL
