Dose is 0.5 mg x kg g g g g g
Child’s weight is in pounds, so we have to convert it to kg
g g g g g g g g g g g g
1 Kg = 2.2 pounds (lb) X
g g g g g g g
kg = 42 lb
g g g
X = 42*1/2.2 = 19 kg
g g g g g
So the dose is 0.5 mg x 19 kg = 9.5 mg
g g g g g g g g g g g

that’s the 1st part to get into the final part of the question

which is how many ml should be administered? In other w

The key answer is how much solution, ampule, syrup …. yo
g g g g g g g g g g
u have (in other words, the fixed amount of medicine that
g g g g g g g g g g g
would be supplied for you from the pharmacy)
g g g g g g g
So here we have 25 mg / mL in each ampule, and we need t
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
o give 9.5 mg, if you arrange it in an equation, it will be:
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
25 mg ---- 1 mL
g g g g
9.5 mg ---- x mL (x is always the missing amount that you need to know)
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
X = 9.5 x 1/25 = 0.381 --> round to nearest tenth = 0.4
