Question 1135399: While still in the hospital, the doctor writes an order for an antibiotic at 25 mg/lb/day.
You are nervous now because the nurse was wrong before. Assuming that you weigh
123 lbs, determine how many milligrams/day you should be given. What is the
equivalent number of grams/day? (Hint: mg/lb/day = 𝑚𝑔
𝑙𝑏∗𝑑𝑎𝑦) Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Each day you should get:
( 25 mg/lb ) x ( 123 lb ) = 3075 mg / day
--------------------------------------
Convert to grams/day
( 3075 mg/day ) x ( 1 gm / 1000 mg ) = 3.075 gm/day
