Question 8 (1 point) You are caring for a 25 yo woman who just delivered a baby boy. The baby boy weighed 3000 grams. How much does the baby weigh in pounds and ounces? Question 9 (1 point) The doctor has ordered Motrin 800 mg every 4 hours for your postpartum patient for cramping. She cannot swallow tablets so the pharmacy sends the medication in liquid form 400mg/10ml. How many teaspoons will you administer? Question 10 (1 point) You are caring for a 30 yo woman who recently delivered. She has a history of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) with her previous pregnancy. The doctor wants to do preventive therapy so he has ordered Fragmin 120units/kg SQ. Your patient currently weighs 200 pounds. The Fragmin is labeled 7,500 units/0.3ml. Determine how many ml of this molecular weight heparin you will need to administer the dose.
To calculate the weight of the baby in pounds and ounces, we can use the conversion factors:
1 kilogram (kg) = 2.20462 pounds (lbs)
1 gram (g) = 0.035274 ounces (oz)
The baby’s weight is 3000 grams.
First, we convert grams to pounds:
3000 grams / 1000 (to convert grams to kilograms) = 3 kilograms (kg)
3 kg x 2.20462 (to convert kilograms to pounds) = 6.61386 pounds (lbs)
Now, let’s convert the remaining grams to ounces:
0.61386 pounds x 16 ounces/pound = 9.822 ounces (rounded to the nearest ounce)
So, the baby weighs approximately 6 pounds and 9.8 ounces.
The pharmacy sent Motrin in liquid form with a concentration of 400mg/10ml. To administer 800 mg, we can set up a proportion:
400 mg / 10 ml = 800 mg / X ml
Cross-multiplying, we get:
400X = 8000
Now, divide both sides by 400 to find X:
X = 8000 / 400
X = 20 ml
You will administer 20 ml of the liquid Motrin.
To determine the amount of Fragmin needed, we will follow these steps:
Calculate the patient’s weight in kilograms:
200 pounds / 2.20462 (to convert pounds to kilograms) ≈ 90.72 kg
Calculate the total dose needed:
120 units/kg x 90.72 kg = 10,886.4 units
Now, we need to calculate how many ml of Fragmin is needed to deliver this dose. The Fragmin is labeled 7,500 units/0.3 ml.
10,886.4 units / 7,500 units/0.3 ml ≈ 46.16 ml
You will need to administer approximately 46.16 ml of Fragmin to deliver the prescribed dose for deep vein thrombosis prevention in the patient.
