Answer:
The nurse should administer 3995.2 millilitres of syrup.
Step-by-step explanation:
The conversion factor of pound weight to kilogram is; 1 lb = 0.453592 kg
The body weight of the patient in Kg = 150 * 0.453592 = 68.04 kg
A prescription of 7.34 mg/kg acetaminophen means that he should receive;
7.34 mg * 68.04 = 499.4 mg of acetaminophen
Amount in grams of acetaminophen per millilitre of syrup = 0.125 mg
Number of millilitres of syrup required = 499.4 mg / 0.125 mg/mL = 3995.2 mL
Therefore, the nurse should administer 3995.2 millilitres of syrup.
