Alright, the pediatric nurse is assigned to a 14 year old patient with ewing sarcoma who is beginning chemotherapy today.
00:09
The patient weighs 45 kilograms.
00:11
The oncologist orders ondasterone, ondasetron, 8 milligrams iv infusion 30 minutes before chemotherapy and repeat 4 hours after the completion of chemotherapy.
00:24
The drug reference about last row is so.
00:28
So we got that.
00:32
Alright, so the question got cut off.
00:34
The last part of it is what is the most important thing the nurse should do first? first, the nurse needs to calculate the correct dosage for the patient based on their weight.
00:44
So the recommended dosage according to this for our medicine is right now 0 .15 milligrams per kilogram.
01:00
So for a 45 kilogram patient, 45 kilograms we should convert that to about 6 .75 milligrams in total.
01:16
Alright, the max dose now again make sure it's safe...
