The amount of medication needed is approximately 0.3 ml.
To calculate the amount of medication needed, we can use the following steps:
Convert the patient's weight from grams to kilograms:
Patient's weight = 2030 grams
1 kilogram = 1000 grams
Patient's weight in kilograms = 2030 grams / 1000 = 2.03 kilograms
Calculate the total amount of medication needed:
Dose = 3 mg/kg
Patient's weight = 2.03 kilograms
Total dose = 3 mg/kg * 2.03 kg = 6.09 mg
Determine the volume of the available medication:
Available concentration = 15 mg/0.6 ml
Calculate the volume of medication needed:
Volume = Total dose / Concentration
Volume = 6.09 mg / 15 mg/0.6 ml = 0.2424 ml
Rounding up, the amount of medication needed is approximately 0.3 ml.
