2. a) How many pills will this patient need?
body weight = 50 kg
daily amount per kg body weight = 8 mg
So, bodyweight * amount/kg body weight = 50 * 8
= 400 mg
Therefore daily dose should not exceed 400mg.
Since it is 125 mg per pill, the number of pills to be given =400/125
= 3 pills per day
So,3 pills per day will be needed for the patient.
b) Since 3 pills are to be given at a 6-hour interval and the first dose is at 6 am, the other doses should be given at 12 noon and 6 pm.
Therefore, the last dose is to be given at 6 pm
