    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer magnesium hydroxide 0.85 g PO to a school-age child. How many mg 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.)

    mg

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step by step calculation: The desired dose of magnesium hydroxide is 0.85 g. We need to convert grams to milligrams. Converting grams to milligrams: 1 g = 1000 mg 0.85 g x 1000 mg/g = 850 mg
