Meloxicam (Mobic) is dispensed in solution with 7.5 mg/5 mL. The physician has ordered 0.125 mg/kg daily for a child with juvenile arthritis who weighs 68 lb. How many mL will the nurse provide? (Round to the nearest tenth.)
Convert 68 lb to kg = 68/2.2 = 30.9 kg; 0.125 mg per kg = 30.9 x 0.125 = 3.86 mg
3.86/7.5 x 5 = 2.57 mL = 2.6 mL
