Based on dosage, the infant weighing 25 lb would be given 5.67 mL of Ibuprofen suspension.
What amount of Ibuprofen should be given to an infant weighing 25 lb if the recommended dose is 10 mg/kg body weight?
The weight of the child is converted from pound to kilogram
1 pound = 0.453592 kg
25 pounds = 0.453592 * 25 = 11.34 kg
Amount in mg of Ibuprofen needed by the baby is;
11.34 kg * 10 mg/kg = 113.4 mg
In the Ibuprofen suspension, 100 mg is present in 5.0 mL
113.4 mg will be present in 113.4 mg * 5 mL/100 mg = 5.67 mL
Therefore, the infant weighing 25 lb would be given 5.67 mL of Ibuprofen suspension.
