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
