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 .
