well I got 500 from dividing 1500 which was the daily dose in question 9 and divide that by 3

thank you :)

and number 10. 500 mg multiply by 5 mg/kg/day = 2500 kg/day. 2500/3=833 mg per dose? doesnt make sense to me

answer is 1.6?

400 mcg convert into mcg/ml? convert the 400 mcg into mg and divide the 400/0.25?

let me figure this out , thank you guys!

75 kg. What formula is best used to figure out mg. 20mg/kg/day (/) 3 = 5/x?

5) aminophylline 300 mg in 500ml d5w is to be infused over 8 hours. you have aminiphyline 1000mg/20ml. How many mls of aminophylline should be added to the bag of D5W ? 1000mg/20 ml = x/300mg? cross multiply to get mls ????? 8)pediatric patient with CHF. recommended theurpatic dose of digoxin is 20-35 mcg/kg/day. Patient wieghts 44 pounds. Digoxin comes in 0.25mg per ml. What is minimim amount in mls that your patient can receive? convert 44lbs into KG which is 20kg. And then I have no idea on what to do . And number 9 and 10, can someone please guide me through it

thanks alot for your help. number 4) I did 50mg/500ML = X/175MCG/MINUTE AND convert the 175mcg/minute to mg ? to mcg/hour and then cross multiply?

Oh i understand now. For number 2 this is how I would solve it. 10mg/kg/day , since its divided every 12 hours I would do 10/12= .83333 (round to .83) and i would multiply that by his weight which is 165*.83=136.95 mgs per dose?

so number 6 and 7 are correct? and I don't get why you would divide 5mg/2mg/ml. Is it because you are technically cancelling out the mg, leaving ml?

and is number 7 , 2130 hour cause its going to take 3 hours for the blood to finish transfusing?

number 6 i got 360mg/6 hours=x/1mg and x= 60 mg in one hour

im trying to look up these formulas online but its not happening. Yea i will try and convert everything so all units match. THANKS

i got 1.5/x = 750mg/10 and got 0.02 mL

idk where to start..
