Question

The proper dosage of a certain medication is 0.50 mg per kilogramof of patient weight. The medication is the Spence in a liquid that contains 350.0ug of medication per mL of liquid. What volume of liquid medication should be given to a 183 Ib patient. (1kg= 2.204 lb)

Answer 1

118.61 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we know the concentration in the medication:

`(350.0\mu g)/(1mL)`

Now, since there are 0.50 mg of the medication per kilogram of patient, we can compute the volume as shown below for a 183-lb patient:

`183lb*(1kg)/(2.204lb)* (0.50mg)/(1kg) *(1000\mu g)/(1mg) *(1mL)/(350.0\mu g) =118.61mL`

Best regards!
