Question

To prescribe a dose of a medicine to a child, a nurse might use something called Clark's rule given as Dose(W, AD)= W/150 x AD, where W represents the weight of the child in pounds and AD represents the mg does prescribed to an adult of 150 pounds.

what is the value of Dose(35,210)?

Answer 1

The required value is 49.

Explanation:

The value of the dose is represented by Dose(W, AD)=
`(W)/(150) * 210`.

We need to find the value of Dose(35,210).

We can consider the above as a function of W and AD.

Hence, the weight, W of the child is 35 pounds and 210 mg is prescribed to an adult of 150 pound.

The value will be Dose(35,210) =
`(35)/(150) * 210= 49` mg.
