A nurse is preparing to administer belimumab 10 mg/kg via intermittent IV bolus to a client who weighs 136 lb. Available is belimumab 80 mg/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.) ________ mL

Step 1 is to convert the client's weight from pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg) Weight in kg = 136 ÷ 2.2 136 ÷ 2.2 = 61.8181... kg Step 2 is to calculate the total dose in milligrams (mg) Total mg dose = Weight in kg × Dosage (mg/kg) 61.8181... × 10 = 618.1818... mg Step 3 is to calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL) (Ordered dose ÷ Available dose) × Available volume = Result (618.1818... ÷ 80) × 1 = Result 618.1818... ÷ 80 = 7.7272... 7.7272... × 1 = 7.7272... Step 4 is to round to the nearest whole number 7.7272... ≈ 8 Answer: 8
