Answer 1

A lbuertol 1.2 mg P.O. t.i.d is ordered for a child weighing 27lb the recommended dosage is 0.3 mg/kg available 2mg/5ml. How much of the solution is needed for each dose? and per day

Order; 1.2 mg P.O. t.i.d

Weight = 27 lb = 12.247 kg

available 2mg/5ml

= 0.4 mg/ml

Recommended Dosage; 0.3 mg/kg

= 0.3 x 12.247

= 3.6741 mg

= 3.6741/ 0.4

= 9.18525 ml per dose

Since it is Tid (Thrice a day)

= 9.18525 x 3

= 27.555 ml a day
