Answer 1

Page @ 50kg client There is mistake in printing, it must be 7 mg / kg not 70 mg/kg So fos every 4 hour client needs 50x7= 350mg Ay the client would intake the dung drug only when he/she is awake, this only 3 cycles a day. Thus 350x3 = 1050 mg option @ is closest to 105o . Sa 445 mg/day 2 96 kg client Every 8 hour client needs 56*5 = 280 mg of drug They safe dose, taking into account 2 cycles is anything below 280x2 = 560 mg. option & is optimal 300 mg /day.

Answer 2

Actually you are right.

I think either the problems are wrong given or something is missing (i, e. Some part are not given).

If the problems are right then, solutions are

1. 50 × 70 × 6 = 21000 mg/day.

Since Clint weight is 50 kg, drug needed in every 4 hour = 70 and a day has 24 hors = 4×6 hours.

2. 56 × 5 = 280 mg

Since clint weight is 56 kg, the frig level recommend in every 8 hors is 5 mg.
