Question 838247: A child weights 66lbs is receiving a dose of 125u mg of a drug three times a day. The safe range is 10-20mg/kg/day.is the child receiving a safe dose Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since 1 kg = 2.2 pounds,
The childs weight in kg = 66/2.2 = 30 kg
The child is receiving 3*1.25 mg = 3.75 mg per day
The daily dose is 3.75 mg / 30 kg = 0.125 mg / kg
This is below the 10-20mg/kg for one day
