A particular drug is supplied in tablets= 600 mg strength
Patient’s weight= 90 lb
The patient requires a one week supply of this drug at a dose of 20mg/lb every 12 hours.
Required dose = 20mg/lb
Means for 1 lb=20 mg
For 90 lb= 20X 90=1800 lb for every 12 hours
Then for one day /everyday/24 hours required dose = 1800X2=3600 mg
Then for one week (7 days) required dose= 3600X 7= 25,200 mg total
600 mg =1 tablet
1 mg=1/600 tablet
25,200 mg= (1/600) X 25200= 42 tablets answer
