Calculate the normal dosage range (in mg/day) to the nearest tenth and the dosage being administered (in mg/day) for the following medication:

A child weighing 22.1 kg is to receive 750 mL of D5 1/4S containing 6 g of a drug, which is to run for 24 hours. The dosage range of the drug is 200-300 mg/kg/day.

1. Lowest dosage (mg/day)
2. Highest dosage (mg/day)
3. Dosage ordered (mg/day)

Assess the dosage ordered:

The dosage ordered is ---Select--- in regards to the range.

To calculate the normal dosage range and the dosage being administered, we need to use the given information and perform the necessary calculations.

Given:

- Child's weight: 273 kg

- Normal dosage range: 0.5-1 mg/kg/dose

- IV containing 25 mg of medication administered

To calculate the normal dosage range, we multiply the child's weight by the lower and upper limits of the range:

Lowest dosage = 0.5 mg/kg/dose * 273 kg = 136.5 mg/dose

Highest dosage = 1 mg/kg/dose * 273 kg = 273 mg/dose The dosage being administered is 25 mg/dose. To assess the dosage ordered, we

compare the administered dosage (25 mg/dose) with the normal dosage range. Since the administered dosage falls within the normal range of 0.5-1 mg/kg/dose, the dosage ordered is appropriate and falls within the recommended range for the child's weight.
