Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Largest dose can administered in a patient weight 220 pounds.

        Ordered dose = 7 mg/kg with a maximum dose of 600 mg.

        Weight of the patient = 220 pounds.

   Convert pound to kg for calculation

            1 pound = 0.454 kg.

    Weight of the patient = 220 * 0.454

                                      = 99.8 kg.

   Dose required for a patient weight 99.8 kg = 7 * 99.8

                                                                        = 698.6 mg.

     As per order maximum dose can be administered = 600 mg.

So

       Largest dose can be administered for this patient = 600 mg.
