Zenapax® is used as part of immunosuppressive therapy for transplant patients. The dosage is calculated on the basis of 1.0 mg/kg. What is the proper dose for a 175 lb patient? (Given: 1kg = 2.205 lbs)

Question

175*2.205=385.875

Answer 1

If you're trying to convert 175 lbs to kg, that isn't th way to do it. Note that the units you want don't come up.
175 x (1 kg/2.205 lbs) = ?kg
?kg x (1.0 mg/kg) = dosage.
