ANSWER.
* Calculation of mg of Trimethaphan administered during 1 hour infusion.
Ordered dose = 0.1 mg/kg/min.
Weight of the child = 75 pounds.
Convert pound to kg for calculation
1 pound = 0.454 kg.
So
Weight of the child = 75 * 0.454
= 34.05 kg.
Dose required for a child with 75 pound weight = 0.1 * 34.05
= 3.4 mg/min.
Dose administered during 1 hour infusion = 3.4 * 60 min.
= 204 mg.
