Explanation / Answer

Ans

Part 1 : 15.0 mg acetaminophen /1 kg body mass

The maximum single dose of the drug as mentioned in the question is 15.0 mg per 1.00 kg of the body mass , so the conversion factor will be 15.0 mg acetaminophen /1 kg body mass

Part 2 :

Since 15.0 mg / 1 kg of body mass is the single dose for a person

The patient weighs 70.5 kg ,

so the amount of drug to be prescribed in a single dose :

= (70.5 / 1 ) x 15.0

= 1057.5 mg acetaminophen.
