dose in MCG = 10.2 mcg
Total volume to be sent home = 1.836 ml (1836μl)
Step-by-step explanation:
weight of patient = 680g
dosage in mcg of medication = 15mcg/kg
This means that
for every 1kg weight, 15mcg is given,
since 1kg = 1000g, we can also say that for every 1000g weigh, 15mcg is given.
1000g = 15mcg
1g = 15/1000 mcg = 0.015 mcg
∴ 680g = 0.015 × 680 = 10.2 mcg
Dosage in MCG = 10.2 mcg
Next, we are also told ever ml volume of the drug contains 50 mcg weight of the drug (50mcg/ml). This can also be written as:
50mcg = 1 ml
1 mcg = 1/50 ml = 0.02 ml
∴ 10.2 mcg = 10.2 × 0.02 = 0.204 ml
since the medication is to be taken TID (three times daily) for 3 days, the total number of times the drug is to be taken = 9 times.
therefore, the total volume required = 0.204 × 9 = 1.836 ml (1836 μl)
