ANSWER.
* Calculation of mg of drug required.
Ordered dose = 5 mg/kg every 12 hr.
Weight of the patient = 88 lbs.
Convert lbs to kg for calculation
1 lbs = 0.454 kg
Weight of the patient in kg = 88 * 0.454
= 39.9 kg.
Amount(mg) of drug required for this patient = 5 * 39.9
= 199.5
= 200 mg per dose.
