1 answer:
Answer:
a. 24.9476 Kg.
b. The safe daily dosage range is between 2494760 units /day and 6236900 units/day
c. Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Lets see the convertion from lb to Kg:
1 Lb= 0.453592 55 lb = 0.453592*55= 24.9476 kg b. Minimum daily dosage is 100,000 units /kg
For this kid: 100,000 * 24.9476= 2,494,760 units/ day in 6 dosis; 2494760/6= 415,793.33 units every 4 hours Maximun daily dosage is 250,000 units /kg
For this kid: 250,000 * 24.9476= 6,236,900 units/ day in 6 dosis; 6,236,900/6= 1,039,483.33 units every 4 hours c: Yes, because 525.000 units every 4 hours is between the minimun and maximun dosaje for this kid
