The doctor's dosage was not appropriate.
The right dosage is from 56.625 mg to 113.25 mg of Antibiotic to be given every 6 hour for the child with weight 25 lbs.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that 20 to 40 mg/kg/day is the recommended dosage.
Now, the doctor's order is 150 mg of antibiotic to be given every 6 hours. And my child weighs 25 lbs.
Now, 1 lb is equivalent to 0.453 kg.
So, my child's weight is (25 × 0.453) = 11.325 kg.
So, the doctor's order is 150 mg of antibiotic to be given every 6 hours for a child of weight 11.325 kg.
Hence, the dosage is [(150 × 4) ÷ 11.325] = 52.98 mg/kg/day.
So, this is not within the limit of 20 to 40 mg/kg/day.
Therefore, the doctor's dosage was not appropriate.
Now, let the appropriate dosage is x mg per every 6 hours for a child with weight 25 lbs i.e. 11.325 kg.
So,![20 \leq \frac{4x}{11.325} \leq 40](/tpl/images/0526/6033/a0b6f.png)
⇒![20\leq 0.3532x \leq 40](/tpl/images/0526/6033/06c9f.png)
⇒![56.625 \leq x \leq 113.25](/tpl/images/0526/6033/086e4.png)
So, the right dosage is from 56.625 mg to 113.25 mg of antibiotic to be given every 6 hours for the child with weight 25 lbs. (Answer)
