Answer:
a) 996.6 mg
b) 498.96 mg
c) 4
d) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Dose to be given = 10 mg/kg/day
Number of dose to be divided = 2
weight of the patient = 220 pounds
now,
1 pound = 0.453 kg
thus,
weight of the patient = 220 × 0.4536 = 99.792 kg
a) Amount of Drug patient should receive per day = dose × weight of patient
or
Amount of Drug patient should receive per day = 10 × 99.792
or
Amount of Drug patient should receive per day = 997.92 mg
b) Now, the dose is divided in to 2 per day
thus,
The amount of drug received per dose =
or
The amount of drug received per dose =
or
The amount of drug received per dose = 498.96 mg
c) weight of capsule = 250 mg
Thus,
capsules received by patient per day =
or
capsules received by patient per day =
or
capsules received by patient per day = 3.99168 ≈ 4
d) Capsules to be received per dose =
or
capsules received by patient per dose =
or
capsules received by patient per dose = 1.99544 ≈ 2
