5 0

Answer:

The dose for this patient should be 800 mg per day, ie., 4000 mg in total for 5 days.

Explanation:

2.2 lbs: 1 kilogram

22 lbs: 10 kilograms

Acyclovir oral suspension 20mg/kg >> 10 kg: 200 mg

This needs to be repeated four times in a day (i.e., every 6 hours) during five days >>  

200 mg x 4 = 800 mg >>

800 mg x 5 days = 4000 mg
