Calculation
The provider has ordered Golimimab 2mg/kg IV over 30 minutes for a patient weighing 140 pounds. The pharmacy provided a vial of Golimumab 50mg/4mL. The nurse will administer how many mL of Golimumab? (round to the nearest whole number)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Rationale: Convert the patient's weight from pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg). Weight in kg = 140 lb / 2.2 lb/kg = 63.636 kg. Calculate the total desired dose in milligrams (mg). Desired dose (mg) = Desired dose (mg/kg) × Weight (kg) = 2 mg/kg × 63.636 kg = 127.272 mg. Identify the available concentration of Golimumab. Available concentration = 50 mg / 4 mL. Calculate the volume in milliliters (mL) to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / (Available concentration (mg) / Available volume (mL)) = 127.272 mg / (50 mg / 4 mL) = 127.272 mg / 12.5 mg/mL = 10.18176 mL. Round the answer to the nearest whole number. = 10 mL.
