Answer 1

1.

Single dosage of drug is 10 % of adult dose of 245 mg per day

ie, 245 × (10/100)=24.5

Single dosage is 24.5 mg

Dose is twice daily

So 24.5× 2= 49 mg

2.

Recommended dose is 20 mg / kg / day

Child weighs 30 .0lb

ie, 30× 0.453 kg( convert to kg)

= 14.043 kg

So, total dosage of medicine A for the child =

14.043 × 20 mg = 280. 86 mg

Prescribed dose is higher than daily maximum and is considered unsafe.
