Final answer:
The equivalent dosage of insulin glargine in mcg/lb/day is 163.6. The correct answer is option (d).
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to determine the equivalent dosage of insulin glargine in mg/kg/day to other units of measurement. The given options are cg/lb/day, mcg/lb/day, and mg/lb/day.
To find the equivalent dosage, we can convert the given dose of 0.36 mg/kg/day to the desired unit.
To convert mg/kg/day to cg/lb/day, we can use the following conversion factors:
1 mg = 10 cg
1 kg = 2.205 lb
So, the equivalent dosage in cg/lb/day is 0.36 mg/kg/day * 10 cg/mg * (1/2.205) lb/kg = 1.635 cg/lb/day.
To convert mg/kg/day to mcg/lb/day, we can use the following conversion factors:
1 mg = 1000 mcg
So, the equivalent dosage in mcg/lb/day is 0.36 mg/kg/day * 1000 mcg/mg * (1/2.205) lb/kg = 163.636 mcg/lb/day.
Therefore, the correct answer is (d) 163.6 mcg/lb/day.
