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.)
Correct answer
8 mL
Rationale
Weight: 136 lb ├À 2.2 = 61.8 kg. Dose: 10 mg/kg ├ù 61.8 kg = 618 mg. Volume: 618 mg ├À 80 mg/mL = 7.7 mL, rounded to 8 mL.
