Patient weighs 22 lbs. Physician order 20 mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses. What is the daily drug total? How much will the nurse draw up for each dose if the medicine comes (100mg/5mL)?

His daily dosage is 199.6 mg divided in four doses of 49.9 mg. The Nurse needs to draw 2.495 mL from a medicine that comes in 100mg/5mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the daily dose we first need to find the mass of the Patient in kg. To do that we need to divide his weigh in lbs by 2.205.
