A nurse is preparing to administer acetaminophen 15 mg/kg via intermittent IV bolus to a client who weighs 99 lb. The amount available is acetaminophen 1,000 mg/100 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Calculation: Convert the client’s weight from pounds to kilograms Weight = 99 ÷ 2.2 ≈ 45 kg Calculate the ordered dose in mg Ordered Dose = 15 × 45 Ordered Dose = 675 mg Identify the available concentration Available Concentration: 1,000 mg/100 mL Calculate the volume to administer Volume to administer = (Ordered Dose ÷ Available Dose) × Total Volume Volume to administer = (675 ÷ 1,000) × 100 Volume to administer = 0.675 × 100 Volume to administer = 67.5 mL Round to the nearest whole number = 68 mL
