An infant acetaminophen suspension contains 80 mg/0.80 mL suspension. The recommended dose is 15 mg/kg body weight.
How many milliliters of this suspension should be given to an infant weighing 13 lb.

Answers

Answer 1

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 kg

Then 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 mg

Finally we calculate the required mL of suspension, using its concentration:

88.53 mg รท (80 mg/0.80 mL) = 0.8853 mL
