Homework Answers
Given
Medication :Nebsin
Available:20mg/2ml
Weight:4 pounds (1.8kg=0.454×4)
As it is mentioned 4mg/kg
=then 1.8kg=??mg
Cross multiply and divide
=4×1.8÷1
=7.2mg/day
Dose:4mg

Frequency:Twice a day
As one dise=4 mg then two dose =8mg
The actual safe dose for the neonates is 7.2 mg/day as per the weight but the order of 4mg/dose can make 8mg/day .Which is more than the recommended dose. Hence not safe to be administered.
If this is the safe dose that is 4mg/dose then to calculate the amount
When 20mg=2ml
Then 4mg=??ml
Cross multiply and divide
=4×2÷20
=8÷20
=0.4ml
