Order: Amikin 500 mg I.M. q12h

Available: 1 g / 4 mL

Parameter: 15 mg / kg / d

Pt weight: 149 lbs

Can you give this dosage?

If yes, how many mL do you give?

Expert Solution

Answers :

Step by step calculation :

Step 1 :

convert lbs to kg

1 pound =0.45 kg

So, Patient weight = 67 kg

Step 2 :

Available dose 1 g / 4 ml

1g= 1000 mg

1000 mg = 4 ml

1 ml = ?

1 ml = 1000 / 4

Hence , 1 ml = 250 mg

Step 3 :

Prescribed dose 15/kg/day

Patient dose = 15 mg x 67 kg

Hence, Per day = 1005 mg /per day

Step 3 :

Formula :

Amount want to give = desired dose / quantity in hand

= 1005 / 250

= 4.02 ml

Hence , answer is 4.02 ml to be given.
