Answer #1

Von willebrand's disease is a genetic inherited bleeding disorder.The medication which are prescribed is Desmopressin.The dose in case of intravenous infusion should be 0.3mcg/kg

Here the child weighs 14.5 kg

So to calculate the dose multiply by 0.3mcg

14.5×0.3=4.35 mcg to be administered

In case if it is to be administered intranassally, the patient who are less than 50 kg are prescribed with 150mcg intranasally
