a.
weight of the child in pounds= 46 lb
1 lb= 0.45 kilogram
so, 46 lb = 46* 0.45 kilogram= 20.86 kilograms
total weight of the child = 20.86 kilograms
b.
Recommended safe dosage = 20 to 40 mg/kg/day in 3 divided doses.
safe dosage for this 20.86-kilogram child = 417.2 - 834.4 milligrams /day in 3 divided doses 20*20.86 = 417.2 milligrams
40* 20.86 = 834.4 milligrams
c
. ordered dose = 150 mg per oral at a time
as labelled, 5ml contains 125 mg
thus, 1 ml =125 mg/ 5 ml =25 mg
then, x ml= 150 mg
therefore , x= 150*1 /25 (using proportion)= 6
thus, ordered dose 150 mg= 6 ml
d.
ordered dose = 150 mg in every 8 hours
ie, 3 times a day
so, the total dose of medicine the child will receive for 24 hours= 150* 3= 450 milligrams
e.

the recommended safe dose is 417.2 mg to 834 .4 mg per day
and total dose administered according to the child's weight is 450 milligrams per day, it is between recommended safe dose.
