4. A nurse is preparing to administer diphenhydramine 20 mg orally to a 6-year-old child
whohas difficulty swallowing pills. Available is diphenhydramine 12.5 mg/5 mL oral syrup.
Which of the following images shows the correct # of mL the nurse should administer?

5. A nurse is caring for a 6-year-old child who has a new prescription for cefoxitin 80
mg/kg/day administered intravenously every 6 hour. The child weighs 20 kg. How much
cefoxitin should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest
wholenumber. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
So it says each dose for the final answer, but we are given 80 mg/kg/day.
80 x 20 = (dose is given every 6 hours a day) =400 mg
Rationale: 80 mg x 20 kg = 1,600 → 1,600/4 x day (q6h) = 400 mg
