Answer:
The solution required per dosage is 3 mL and 9.175 mL of solution is required for the recommended dosage in a day.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the weight of the child is given as 27 lbs. Converting it to kgs as
1 kg =2.2042 lb
So 27 lbs=27/2.2042 kg
The weight of the kid in kg is 12.247 kg.
As the recommended dosage is 0.3 mg/kg/hour so for the weight of the kid the recommended dosage for the day is given as
Recommended dosage=0.3*12.247 =3.67 mg per day
As the concentration is given as 2 mg/5mL
So for each dose the solution is found as
Solution per dose is as Dose Value/Concentration=1.2/(2/5)=3 mL
So the solution required per dosage is 3 mL
Now for the solution required per day is given as
Solution per day is as =Dose Value/Concentration=3.67/(2/5)=9.175 mL
So 9.175 mL of solution is required for the recommended dosage in a day.
