Page 1 of 37 Dosage Calculation RN Critical Care Assessment |ATI RN Critical Care Dosage Calculation Proctored Assessment 3.1 Exam Questions and Correct Answers. Graded A+ Question 1 A nurse is caring for a patient who weighs 128 lb. What is the patient's weight in kg? (Round to nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.) Correct Answer Answer: 58.2 kg Follow these steps for the Ratio and Proportion method of calculation: Step 1: What is the unit of measurement the nurse should calculate? kg Step 2: Set up an equation and solve for X. 2.2 lb/ 1 kg = Client's weight in lb /X kg 2.2 lb/ 1 kg = 128 lb / X kg X kg = 58.181818 kg Step 3: Round if necessary. 58.181818 kg = 58.2 kg Step 4: Determine whether the weight conversion makes sense. If the client weighs 128 lb and 2.2 lb equals 1 kg, it makes sense that the client weighs 58.2 kg.

Page 2 of 37 Question 2 A nurse is preparing to administer eszopiclone 2,000 mcg PO to a client. How many mg should the nurse administer? (Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.) Correct Answer Answer: 2 mg Follow these steps for the Ratio and Proportion method of calculation: Step 1: What is the unit of measurement the nurse should calculate? mg Step 2: What is the dose the nurse should administer? Dose to administer = Desired 2,000 mcg Step 3: What is the dose available? Dose available = Have 1 mg Step 4: Should the nurse convert the units of measurement? Yes (mcg does not equal mg) 1,000 mcg/1 mg = 2,000 mcg/X mg X mg = 2 mg Step 5: Round if necessary. Step 6: Determine whether the amount to administer makes sense. If the prescription reads 2,000 mcg and 1,000 mcg equals 1 mg, it makes sense to administer 2 mg. The nurse should administer eszopiclone 2 mg PO.

Page 3 of 37 Question 3 A nurse is preparing to administer benzathine penicillin G 1,200,000 units IM. Available is benzathine penicillin G injection 600,000 units/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round answer to nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.) Correct Answer Answer: 2 mL Follow these steps for the Ratio and Proportion method of calculation: Step 1: What is the unit of measurement the nurse should calculate? mL Step 2: What is the dose the nurse should administer? Dose to administer = Desired 1,200,000 units Step 3: What is the dose available? Dose available = Have 600,000 units Step 4: Should the nurse convert the units of measurement? No Step 5: What is the quantity of the dose available? 1 mL Step 6: Set up an equation and solve for X. Have/Quantity = Desired/X 600,000 units / 1 mL = 1,200,000 units / X mL X mL = 2 mL Step 7: Round if necessary. Step 8: Determine whether the amount to administer makes sense. If there are 600,000 units/mL and the prescription reads 1,200,000 units, it makes sense to administer 2 mL. The nurse should administer benzathine penicillin G 2 mL IM.
