Part a. Amikacin daily dose is 15 mg/kg/day. The patient weight given is 110 lb, so first we need to calculate the weight of patient in kg.
1 lb = 0.454 kg
therefore 110 lb = 0.454 x 110 kg
= 49.9 or 50 kg approx.
Now, since daily dose in per kg 15 mg, so for 50 kg body weight, the amount of Amikacin can be calculated as:
15 x 50 = 750 mg/day.
Part b. since daily dose is to be given three times a day, so per dose can be calculated by dividing daily dose by three time.
= 750 mg / 3
= 250 mg
Therefore single dose of amikacin will be 250 mg
