    A pediatric client weighs 50 lb. If the provider prescribes a medication dosage of 10 mg/kg/day, how much medication in mg should the nurse administer per day?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: Convert pounds to kilograms. 50 lb ÷ 2.2 = 22.7 kg (rounded) Step 2: Calculate the daily dose. 10 mg/kg/day × 22.7 kg = 227 mg/day
