A Physician orders Zithromax suspension 10mg/kg per day to be divided equally twice a day for a child who weighs 88 lb with acute bronchitis.


How many mg will the child receive per dose?

Respuesta :

1kg = 2.205lbs
10mg per 2.205
10/2.205
10 mg/2.205lbs = x/88lbs
Now we solve for z
10 times 88 = 880 divided by 2.205 =
(Nearest tenths) = 399.1
Thats for the day, there are 2 doses in one day, divide it by 2.
Which equals to 199.55
Answer: 199.55mg
