Answer: 110.2 lbs
Explanation: First, let's determine how many kg the patient masses. Since the dose is 3.000 mg/kg we can convert that to 0.003000 g/kg. So
0.1500 g / 0.003000 g/kg = 50 kg.
So we know the patient has a weight of 50 kg. Now we simply multiply by 2.20462 to get lbs. So
50 kg * 2.20462 lbs/kg = 110.231 lbs
Rounding to 1 decimal place gives 110.2 lbs
Answer:
The patient’s weight is 121.4011 pounds.
Explanation:
Amount of medication given as dosage = 3.000 mg/kg of body weight
Amount of medication given = 0.1651 g = 165.1 mg
Let the weight of the person be x
When 3.000 mg of medication given to person with weight 'x' is equal to 165.1 mg.
[tex]3.000 mg\times x=165.1 mg[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{165.2 mg}{3.000 mg}=55.067 kg[/tex]
1 kg = 2.20462 pounds
55.067 kg = [tex]55.067 kg\times 2.20462 pounds=121.4011 pounds[/tex]
The patient’s weight is 121.4011 pounds.
