Homework Answers
ANSWER.
* Calculation of amount(ml) of acetaminophen administer for each dose.
Formula = Desired dose / Dose in hand * Quantity.
Here
Ordered dose as per protocol = 15 mg/kg.
Weight of the child = 9.6 kg.
Desired dose(D) for a child with 9.6 kg weight = 15 * 9.6
= 144 mg.
Dose in hand (H) = 160 mg.
Quantity(Q) = 5 ml.
As per above formula
Amount(ml) of drug required per dose = D/H * Q
= 144/160 * 5
= 4.5 ml.
