Answer:

985.15mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours

First step is to calculate the weight in kg

255 lbs = 255/2.2 = 115.9 kg

Second step is multiply mg/kg in order to get total medicine per day

Dose per day=115.9kg × 17 mg

Dose per day= 1,970.3

Third step is to calculate how many milligrams of the drug should he receive by dividing the day dose by 2

Dose milligrams=1,970.3/2

Dose milligrams=985.15mg

Therefore how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours will be 985.15mg
