While still in the hospital, the doctor writes an order for an antibiotic. the order is for 300 mg/kg/day. you are nervous now because the nurse before was wrong. assume that you weigh 143 pounds. determine how many mg you should be given. how many grams is that?

143/2.2= 65kg

300*65= 19,500mg/day

19,500mg=19.5g
