Question:
Insulin is being dosed at 1.5 units per kilogram per day. If a patient weighs 160 pounds, how much insulin will they use over one year? There are 0.45 kilograms per pound and 365 days per year.
A
39,420 units.
explanation
\(160lbs \times \frac{\mathrm{0.45kg} }{\mathrm{lb}} = 72kg\)
\((1.5 units/kg/day)(72 kg) =108 units/day\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{108units} }{\mathrm{day}}. \frac{\mathrm{365days} }{\mathrm{1yr}} = 39,240 \frac{\mathrm{units} }{\mathrm{yr}}\)
