Question 1: A 130-lb client with a traumatic head injury has developed increased intracranial pressure and prescribed an initial dose of mannitol 1.5 g/kg IV. The medication is available in pre-mixed 500 ml bags of 20 g/100 ml. How many mililiters of solution should the nurse administer? Provide your answer to the nearest mL. 443 Why? The client’s weight in kg is 59.1 kg (130/2.2). The prescribed dose is 1.5 g/kg, and 59.1 * 1.5 = 88.65 g. Cross-multiple this ratio to obtain the correct volume of mannitol: 20 g/100 mL = 88.65 g/X mL. X = 443.25 mL, which rounds to 443 mL. convert the weight from 16 kg 130/2.2= 59. 1 kg. â‘¡ Multiply weight (in kg) by initial dose 59.1 kg ® 1.5g/kg = 88,657 â‘¢ Cross multiply this ratio 120g(xmL) = 100m1 (88,65 g) 209.88.65 20g (me) = 8865 Question 2: 100mL 20g (me) = 1443.25
