Answer #1

A 187 lb patient is given a drug with a 1.9L/kg volume of distribution.

Patient weight is 187lb = 84.8 kg

the volume of distribution per kg is 1.9L

So, for 84.8 kg it will be 161.1 L

84.8kg x 1.9L/kg = 161.12L

Answer - 161.1 liter is the actual volume of distribution of this drug in this specific patient.
