The prescriber orders Tylenol 10mg/kg every 6 hours as needed for a 40 lbs five year old child. If the bottle is labeled Tylenol 160mg/5mL, how milliliter(s) would you advise the mother to give the child per dose?

Expert Solution

Weight of the child is 40lbs=18.14kg

We have to give 10mg/ kg so total dose is 180 mg

Required dose is =(desired dose/available dose)×dilution

= ( 180÷160)×5

=5.6ml every 6th hourly
