Ideal weight of a child (Table 12.1) is 4.2 kg at 1 month, 5.6 kg at 3 months, 7.7 kg at 6 months, 10 kg at 1 year, 15 kg at 2 years, 18 kg at 5 years and 23 kg at 7 years. The paediatric dose of the opioid analgesic morphine in the APF is 0.1-0.2 mg/kg 2-4 hourly for subcutaneous administration (injection). A 5 year old child, who weighs 18.1 kg requires a 0.11 mg/kg dose of morphine. Calculate the volume of a 10 mg/mL solution that would be required / dose. (Answer to 2 significant figures.)

Azithromycin can be administered either orally as a slow release of active ingredients (known as extended release) or intravenously (IV) into the bloodstream (known as immediate release). Calculate the appropriate dosage of both extended and immediate release azithromycin for a 17.0 lb patient. Orally administered extended-release azithromycin dosage for a child is 60 mg per kg of body weight. Calculate the dosage in mg of azithromycin for a 17.0 lb child. IV administered immediate-release azithromycin dosage for a child is 10 mg per kg of body weight. Calculate the dosage in mg of azithromycin for a 17.0 lb child.
