Answer:
Yes the ordered dose of 200 mg/d lies within the recommended range of 75 mg/d to 375 mg/d
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Ordered dose of Anadrol-50 (oxymetholone) = 200 mg per day
Recommended range = 1-5 mg/kg/d
Weight of the patient = 75 kg
Now,
For the patient weighing 75 kg, the recommended dose will be
Minimum dose will be
= Minimum value of Recommended range × Weight of the patient
= 1 mg/kg/d × 75 kg
= 75 mg/d
and,
the Maximum dose will be
= Maximum value of Recommended range × Weight of the patient
= 5 mg/kg/d × 75 kg
= 375 mg/d
Yes the ordered dose of 200 mg/d lies within the recommended range of 75 mg/d to 375 mg/d
