Answer 1

5. The required dose per day is 45 mg/ kg body weight in 3 divided doses

66 pounds = 30 kilograms (divide pounds with 2.2 to convert into kgs)

Ceclor 45 mg $\times$ 30 = 1350 mg per day

1350 $\div$ 3 = 450 mg per dose

Required medication = required dose $\times$ available volume $\div$ available dose

                                  = 450 $\times$ 75 $\div$ 9375

                                  = 3.6 ml

6. An average adult BSA is 1.73 m²

Child's dose = BSA $\times$ adult dose $\div$ 1.73

                    = 0.55 $\times$ 500 $\div$ 1.73

                    = 158.9 mg or can be rounded to 159 mg

Required medication = required dose $\times$ available volume$\div$ available dose

                                  = 159 $\times$ 100 $\div$ 5000

                                  = 3.18 or can be rounded to 3.2 ml

7. An average adult BSA is 1.73 m²

Child's dose = BSA $\times$ adult dose $\div$ 1.73

                    = 1.2 $\times$ 25 $\div$ 1.73

                    = 17.3 mg
