Pharmacology

Answer 1

since we know that 1 pound = 0.45 kg (approx)

as the child is 22 pounds so, it can be taken as 10 kg

a) Mgs the child should receive per day with respect to its weight (10 kg) => 40*10 = 400 mg

b) in each the child receive 400/2 = 200 mg

(since in one day the child should receive 400 mgs dosage in two intervals, so in each dose he/she should receive= 400/2=200)

c) this seems quite simple unitary method problem,

since the child's dosage is 400mg/ 5 ml , so its two dosage equals 5 ml in volume, and hence one dosage in mL will be =5/2 =2.5 ml ( which seems quite a descent value for a year old child)
