Question:
A prescription medicine has a dosage of 0.6 mg/kg/day divided into three doses per day. If a patient weighs 90 kg, how many milligrams of the medicine would be prescribed per dose? Round to the nearest milligram.
A
18 mg/dose.
explanation
\((0.6 mg/kg/day)(90 kg) = 54 mg/day\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{54mg} }{\mathrm{day}} . \frac{\mathrm{1day} }{\mathrm{3doses}}\)
\(= \frac{\mathrm{54mg} }{\mathrm{3doses}}\)
\(= 18mg/dose\)
