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

Please show work. A 86.5 kg patient has just received a single 500 mg oral dose of an antibiotic. This antibiotic has a 90% oral bioavailability, 8.6 hour elimination half-life, and a 1.1 hour absorption half-life. The drug literature states that the population volume of distribution is 1.1 L/kg for this medication. A blood sample was collected at the maximum drug concentration and reported to be 5.916 mg/L. What is the patient-specific volume of distribution of this antibiotic in this...
