Answer:
the correct mL to administer is 0.66mL
Explanation:
1 pounds = 0.454kg
1ounces = 0.0283kg
1000mL = 1kg
1ml = 0.001kg
therefore,
5 pounds = 2.27kg
13 ounces = 0.369kg
total weight of the infants = 2.27 + 0.369 = 2.639kg
the order is for 0.1 mg/kg i.e for every 1kg = 0.1mg is used
therefore for 2.639kg = 0.2639mg
Narcan is available as 0.4 mg/mL drug.
1ml = 0.001kg
? = 2.639kg
?= 2639mL
0.4mg for 1ml
0.2639mg = 0.66mL
the correct mL to administer is 0.66mL
