Assume the recommended single dose of ibuprofen for children over the age of two is 4.5 mg per pound (mg/lb) of body weight.
Use this guideline to calculate a single dose in milligrams for a five-year-old child who weighs 37 lb.
mg
dosage:
A suspension of pediatric Tylenol is sold as a concentration of the active ingredient is 32 mg/mL. If the dosage is 0.125 g per 45-lb pound body weight, how much is necessary to give a child weighing 85.4 lbs.
A patient is prescribed 1.25 g of amoxicillin, which is available in 250-mg tablets. How many tablets are needed?
