mg pa kg: Verifye Dòz Pedyatrik ak Dòz ki San Danje
mg per kg: Pediatric and Safe-Dose Checks
👶 Preskripsyon pedyatrik yo vini ak yon entèval san danje an mg pa kg, yo bay li swa pa jou swa pa dòz. Egzamen an ba ou preskripsyon an, pwa a ak entèval la, epi li poze yon kesyon pèsonn pa atann: èske dòz sa a san danje pou bay ditou?
👶 Pediatric orders come with a safe range in mg per kg, given either per day or per dose. The exam gives you the order, the weight and the range, and asks a question nobody expects: is this dose safe to give at all?
💡 Ide prensipal
Kilogram anvan, apre dòz pa kg fwa kg. Verifye si entèval la se pa dòz oswa pa jou: konpare yon entèval pa dòz ak dòz inik la, epi pou yon entèval pa jou divize minimòm ak maksimòm pa jou a pa dòz pa jou yo. Kenbe tout sa ki andeyò entèval la.
Kilograms first, then dose per kg times kg. Check whether the range is per dose or per day: compare a per-dose range with the single dose, and for a per-day range divide the daily minimum and maximum by the doses per day. Hold anything outside the range.
🧠 Poukisa sa enpòtan
Premyèman konvèti pwa a an kilogram. Apre multipliye: dòz pa kg × kg = dòz. Pou yon ENTÈVAL DÒZ KI SAN DANJE yo bay pa jou, multipliye tou de bout entèval la pa pwa a pou jwenn minimòm ak maksimòm pa jou a, apre divize pa kantite dòz pa jou a pou konpare ak dòz inik yo preskri a. Egzanp: yo preskri yon timoun 20 kg 250 mg chak 8 èdtan; entèval san danje a se 30 a 50 mg/kg/day. Entèval pa jou: 600 a 1,000 mg; twa dòz pa jou vle di 200 a 333 mg pa dòz; 250 mg nan entèval la, kidonk li san danje pou bay. Si dòz yo preskri a tonbe andeyò entèval la, SISPANN li epi klarifye ak moun ki preskri a; pa ajiste li ou menm. Pou dòz selon SIFAS KÒ a (chimyoterapi), dòz la se mg pa mèt kare fwa BSA ki soti nan yon tablo oswa yon fòmil. Pou perfusion kontinyèl selon pwa, tankou mcg/kg/min, konvèti etap pa etap: multipliye dòz la pa pwa a an kg pou jwenn mcg pa minit, multipliye pa 60 pou jwenn mcg pa èdtan, konvèti konsantrasyon sak la an mcg/mL (mg × 1,000 ÷ mL), apre divize mcg pa èdtan pa mcg/mL pou jwenn mL/hr.
First convert the weight to kilograms. Then multiply: dose per kg × kg = dose. For a SAFE DOSE RANGE given per day, multiply both ends of the range by the weight to get the daily minimum and maximum, then divide by the number of doses per day to compare with the ordered single dose. Example: a 20 kg child is ordered 250 mg every 8 hours; the safe range is 30 to 50 mg/kg/day. Daily range: 600 to 1,000 mg; three doses a day means 200 to 333 mg per dose; 250 mg is within range, so it is safe to give. If the ordered dose falls outside the range, HOLD and clarify with the prescriber; do not adjust it yourself. For BODY SURFACE AREA dosing (chemotherapy), the dose is mg per square meter times the BSA from a chart or formula. For continuous weight-based infusions, such as mcg/kg/min, convert step by step: multiply the dose by the weight in kg to get mcg per minute, multiply by 60 to get mcg per hour, convert the bag concentration to mcg/mL (mg × 1,000 ÷ mL), then divide mcg per hour by mcg/mL to get mL/hr.
🏥 Nan lavi reyèl
🧮 Yon tibebe peze 8 kg. Preskripsyon: acetaminophen 160 mg chak 6 èdtan. Entèval san danje: 10 a 15 mg/kg/dose. 10 × 8 = 80 mg epi 15 × 8 = 120 mg pa dòz. 160 mg yo preskri a depase maksimòm lan. Enfimyè a kenbe dòz la epi li rele moun ki preskri a. Kalkil la te pran 30 segonn; fwa li te pwoteje a te tout pwen an.
🧮 An infant weighs 8 kg. Order: acetaminophen 160 mg every 6 hours. Safe range: 10 to 15 mg/kg/dose. 10 × 8 = 80 mg and 15 × 8 = 120 mg per dose. The ordered 160 mg exceeds the maximum. The nurse holds the dose and calls the prescriber. The calculation took 30 seconds; the liver it protected was the whole point.
📌 Sa pou retni
- Konvèti an kg anvan tout lòt bagayConvert to kg before anything else
- Entèval pa jou: multipliye pa pwa, apre divize pa dòz pa jouPer-day ranges: multiply by weight, then divide by doses per day
- Andeyò entèval la: kenbe epi klarifye, pa janm ajiste pou kont ouOutside the range: hold and clarify, never adjust on your own

Yon timoun peze 22 lb, preskripsyon an se 15 mg/kg yon medikaman, ki dòz ki kòrèk la?A child weighs 22 lb. The order is for 15 mg/kg of a medication. What is the correct dose?
- 150 mg
- 100 mg
- 66 mg
- 330 mg
Repons: A · 150 mg
22 ÷ 2.2 = 10 kg; 15 × 10 = 150 mg, 330 mg soti nan multipliye 15 pa pwa a an liv olye de kilogram, 2.2 fwa dòz ki kòrèk la.
22 ÷ 2.2 = 10 kg; 15 × 10 = 150 mg. 330 mg comes from multiplying 15 by the weight in pounds instead of kilograms, 2.2 times the correct dose.
Yo preskri yon timoun 30 kg 400 mg yon antibyotik chak 8 èdtan, entèval san danje a se 25 a 50 mg/kg/day, èske dòz la san danje?A 30 kg child is ordered 400 mg of an antibiotic every 8 hours. The safe range is 25 to 50 mg/kg/day. Is the dose safe?
- Wi, li nan entèval san danje aYes, it is within the safe range
- Li pa ka detèmineIt cannot be determined
- Non, li depase dòz maksimòm pa jou aNo, it exceeds the maximum daily dose
- Non, li anba dòz minimòm pa jou aNo, it is below the minimum daily dose
Repons: A · Wi, li nan entèval san danje a
Entèval pa jou: 750 a 1,500 mg, preskripsyon an: 400 × 3 = 1,200 mg/day, ki nan entèval la, jije li anba dòz minimòm pa jou a soti nan konpare yon sèl dòz 400 mg ak minimòm pa jou a ki se 750 mg olye de itilize total pa jou a ki se 1,200 mg.
Daily range: 750 to 1,500 mg. Ordered: 400 × 3 = 1,200 mg/day, which is within range. Judging it below the minimum daily dose comes from comparing a single 400 mg dose with the 750 mg daily minimum instead of using the 1,200 mg daily total.
Dòz yo preskri pou yon tibebe tonbe pi wo pase entèval san danje enfimyè a te kalkile a, kisa enfimyè a dwe fè?The ordered dose for an infant falls above the safe range calculated by the nurse. What should the nurse do?
- Diminye dòz la a kantite maksimòm ki san danje aReduce the dose to the maximum safe amount
- Kenbe dòz la epi kontakte moun ki preskri a pou klarifikasyonHold the dose and contact the prescriber for clarification
- Bay mwatye kounye a epi mwatye pitaGive half now and half later
- Bay dòz la jan yo preskri a paske moun ki preskri a responsabGive the dose as ordered because the prescriber is responsible
Repons: B · Kenbe dòz la epi kontakte moun ki preskri a pou klarifikasyon
Enfimyè yo pa chanje dòz yo preskri yo pou kont yo; yo kenbe preskripsyon ki pa san danje yo epi yo klarifye yo.
Nurses do not change prescribed doses independently; unsafe orders are held and clarified.
