Final answer:

To calculate the daily dosage in mg/kg, convert the person's weight from pounds to kilograms and then multiply by the prescribed order of 90 mg/kg/day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking how to calculate the dosage of medication in milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day, given a prescribed order and the body weight of a person. To find out how many mg/kg/day the person should receive, we need to perform a conversion from pounds to kilograms. Since 1 pound is equal to 0.453592 kilograms, we convert 94 pounds to kilograms by multiplying 94 by 0.453592, which gives us approximately 42.64 kilograms. Using the order of 90 mg/kg/day, we then multiply this dosage by the person's weight in kilograms to find the total daily dosage in milligrams.
