The recommended dosage of the drug amipicillin for pediatric patients is 200 mg per kilogram of patients weight. If Imani weighs 76 lb how much amipicillin should she receive?

Answer 1

First, let's convert Imani's weight from pounds to kilograms:

76 lb ÷ 2.205 = 34.50 kg

Now we can calculate how much amipicillin she should receive:

200 mg/kg × 34.50 kg = 6,900 mg

Therefore, Imani should receive 6,900 mg of amipicillin.
