The nurse should administer 0.8 mL ceftriaxone IM.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

Determine the infant's weight in kg: 2.2 lb / x kg

= weight in lb / 1 kg; 2.2 lb / x kg = 17.6 lb / 1 kg.

Cross multiply and x = 8 kg

Find total of one-time dose:

Amount prescribed x kg weight (mg x kg)

= total daily dose; 50 mg x 8 kg = 400 mg

What is the dose needed?

Dose needed = Desired; Desired = 400 mg

What is the dose available?

Dose available = Have; Have = 500 mg

Set up an equation using knowledge about basic equivalents.

Desired x Quantity / Have

= Amount to be given; 400 mg x 1 mL / 500 mg = x mL; 400 x 1

= 400 ÷ 500 = 0.8 mL
