Answer 1

Answer #1

ANSWER.

4) Calculation of amount(mg) medication will the patient received.

Here

Ordered dose = 0.5 mg/kg.

Weight of the patient = 50 pounds

Convert pound to kg for calculation

1 pound = 0.45 kg

So

Weight of the patient = 50 * 0.45

= 22.5 kg.

Amount of medication will the patient with 22.5 kg receive = 0.5 * 22.5

= 11.25 mg.

5) Calculation of amount of medication will the patient received.

Here

Ordered dose = 20 mg/kg.

Weight of the patient = 46 pounds.

Convert pound to kg for calculation

1 pound = 0.45 kg.

So

Weight of the patient = 46 * 0.45

= 20.7 kg.

Amount of medication will the patient with 20.7 kg receive = 20 * 20.7

= 414 mg.
