PharmacologyCâu 72 / 100
A child weighs 44 pounds. The provider orders a medication at 10 mg per kilogram per dose. What is the correct single dose?
a.44 mg
b.100 mg
c.200 mg
d.440 mg
Giải thích
Converting weight, 44 pounds divided by 2.2 equals 20 kg, and 20 kg times 10 mg per kg equals 200 mg per dose. Using the weight in pounds without converting yields 440 mg, a dangerous overdose. The 44 mg and 100 mg answers come from skipping the multiplication or using the wrong conversion factor.
