Answer:
0.8853 mL
Explanation:
First we convert 13 lb to kg, keeping in mind that 1 lb = 0.454 kg:
13 lb * [tex]\frac{0.454kg}{1lb}[/tex] = 5.902 kgThen we calculate how many mg of acetaminophen should be given, using the recommended dose and infant mass:
15 mg/kg * 5.902 kg = 88.53 mgFinally we calculate the required mL of suspension, using its concentration:
88.53 mg รท (80 mg/0.80 mL) = 0.8853 mL
