I am pretty sure the answer is 5200mg. What I did was multiplied the patients weight by the amount of medicine given per kg to find the amount of 5200mg as the dosage. Hope this helps you out!

Answer:

5200 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 65 kg times the amount the patient is scheduled to receive to get 5200 mg. That is the dosage that the patient should receive.
