Question

A patient weighs 220 lbs. A medication for this patient has a dosage of 3.5 mg per kg of body mass per day. What is the total daily dosage in grams of the medication based on this information. (1kg = 2.2046 lb)) Give the correct chemical name or symbol of the following: Potassium Iron Na P Cl Copper A temperature of 55.0 degree F is the same as - degree C.(Show calculation.) Using the appropriate metric prefix, write each of the following measurement without the use of a prefix. Convert 8.2 times 10^-6 m to - mue m Convert 4.62 times 10^-9 g to - meu g Convert 2.5 times 10^2 L to - kL

Explanation / Answer

patient weight is 220lb
1lb            =0.45359kg
patient weight = 220*0.45359
                = 99.7898Kg
1 kg of patient daily dosage = 3.5mg = 3.5*0.001 =0.0035 gm
99.7898kg of patient daily dosage    = 0.0035*99.7898 = 0.35gm >>> answer
A potassium = K
B iron      = Fe
C Na        = sodium
D P         = phosphorous
E Cl        = Chlorine
F copper    =Cu
8. C        = 5/9 *(F-32)
            = 5/9 *(55-32)
            = 12.7C
9.A. 8.2*10^-6m = 8.2um
B. 4.62*10^-9g = 4.62*10^-3um
C. 2.5*10^7 L = 2.5*10^4KL
