Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Calculation of amount (mg) of digoxin give each day.

         Ordered dose = 25 mcg/kg.

         Weight of the child = 52 lbs.

    Convert lbs to kg for calculation

                1 lbs = 0.454 kg.

      So

         Weight of the child = 52 * 0.454

                                        = 23.6 kg.

      Amount (mg) of digoxin give per day = 25 * 23.6

                                                                 = 590 mg.
