Answer #1

Given that ,

Weight of patient = 45 lbs

We know that 1lb = 0.454 kg

Weight in kg = 45 ×0.454 kg

= 20.43 kg

Medicine ordered = 500 units/kg

Total medicine =20.43× 500

=10215 units

Medicine label = 1000 units /ml

Dosage in ml = 10215/1000 =10.21 ml

Thus the patient needs to be given a dosage of 10.21 ml .
