An infant who weighs 7.5 kg is to receive ampicillin 25 mg/kg intravenously every 6 hours. how many milligrams would the nurse administer per dose? record your answer using one decimal place.

Respuesta :

750.0 mg  of dose will be received by the child each day

weight of the child = 7.5kg   (GIVEN)

dose given to child = 25mg/kg   (GIVEN)

then the total amount of substance given to the child in each dose = 25×7.5  

Total amount of substance  = 187.5 mg

The medicine is given intravenously every 6 hours.

that is 4 times in a day.

Thus total amount  of dose received by a child each day is

4× 187.5 = 750.0 mg

750.0 mg  of dose will be received by the child each day.
