Given,
dosage recommendation for medication A =5.03 mg/kg of body weight
Body weight of patient =144lbs
Since ,
1lbs =0.4536 kg
then,
144lbs =0.4536*144=65.31 kg
Now,
since 1 kg of body weight requires 5.03mg of A
then,65.31 kg of body weight requires 5.03*65.31 mg of A
=328.50mg
Now,
the solution contains 18.7mg per cc (means 18.7mg in 1cc)
then, for 1mg =1/18.7 cc
for 328.50 mg =(1/18.7)*328.50 cc
=17.56 cc
So, 17.56 cc of medication is given to the patient of 144lbs .
