Could someone please help me to understand this calculation
Doctor ordered 30mg PO every 6-8 hours PRN Infant way 6lbs The dosage range is 10 to 15 mg/kg/dose
Is dosage of 30mg dose a safe range? Yes
What amount of medication would you give (0.3mL)
I am having a problem understanding how this dosage to give was calculated. I understand how to do the dose range. However the final dosage I am not getting the same calculation.
Thank you for any help!
