How many tablets should a 39 kg patient take every four hours?

1 answer:

4 0

50 mg/kg/day x 34 kg = 1700 mg/day
1700 mg/day x 1 day/24 hrs x 4 hrs = 283 mg every 4 hrs

283 mg/4hrs x 1 tablet/400 mg = 0.7 tablets

So to acieve the desired dose, the pati should take seven tenths of a tablet every 4 hours. Thats an unusual dosage since it’s difficult to take 0.7 tablet. The question didnt ask about the liquid suspension so I didn’t include that.

There are eight boxes. Each box holds one sweater. There are 3 blue, 2 brown, 1 green, and 2 red sweaters. What is the probabili

Reil [10]

3 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 8, which is the amount of sweaters.
The probability of a brown sweater is 2 / 8 = 0.25
And the probability of a green sweater is 1 / 8 = 0.125.

Multiply the two probabilities together to get the probability of choosing brown then green:
0.25 * 0.125 = 0.03125.

To convert a decimal to fraction, you multiply the numerator and denominator, or in this case $\frac{0.03125}{1}$ by 1000 which gets $\frac{31.25}{1000}$

Which can be simplified to:
$\frac{1}{32}$ .

Hope this helps.
