Answer 1

Solution:

As it is mentioned the daily dose of the drug for this patient is 18000mg - 27000mg.

In 1 day there are 24 hours, so, If the drug is administered every 4 hours, then it means that the drug should be given 6 times per day. (24/4 = 6)

Therefore, 18000 ÷ 6 = 3000mg , 3.0gram.

For 27000 ÷6 = 4500mg , 4.5gram.
