Answer 1

1.Given

Weight :167lbs (167×0.454= 75.8 kg)

Available :750mg

Order 75mg/kg/day

So 75.8 kg =??

Cross multiply and divide

=75.8×75

=5685mg

Ans a:5785 mg has to be given a day

b.To calculate the number of tablet divide the total dosage with available dosage

Total doage=5685mg

Available dosage :750mg/tablet

=5685÷750

=7.58 that is 7.5

Ans: 7 tablet with a 1 half tablet should be administered to the patient per at

2.Available :150mg/capsule

Order 600mg/kg/day

Weight:44 (19.9 kg upon rounding off 20 kg ,44×0.454)

So 20kg=??

Cross multiply and divide

=20×600÷1

=12000 mg

a.12000mg has to be given to the child per day

b.To calculate the number of capsules

Available 1 capsule =150mg

So 12000mg=??

=12000÷150

=80 capsules

3.Given

Order 5mg/kg

Available :45mg

Weight :149lb (67.5kg)

So 67.5kg= ??

=67.5×5÷1

=337.5 mg

When 1 tablet=45mg

Then 337.5 mg=??

=7.5 (337.5÷45)

Ans:The nurse has to administer seven and a half tablet

When genotype is AO /AA = A blood type

Genotype is BO or BB =B type

If genotype is AB=AB type

If genotype is OO=O type

• If both parents have the same blood group (A/B ) then the child can be A or O and for B the child can be B or O
• If both are having different blood group (One parent with A and other parent with B and vice versa) then the child will be A/B/AB/0
• If one parents as AB group and another A can have child with A /Bor AB

So Mr.Black having O and Mrs.Black with AB can produce a child with blood group of A or B or AB and not O group

Mr.White with A type and Mrs.White with B can profice a child with A or B or AB or O group

The above status shows that the babies born on same day are interchanged by mistake
