Asolution contains 100 mg/ml of a drug, and the recommended dose is 50 mg/lb. once a day. how much solution would be needed for one dose to be administered to a 20 kg patient?

a. 2.2 l
b. 220 ml
c. 22 l
d. 22 ml

20 kg * 2.2 lb/kg * 50 mg/lb * 1mL/100mg = 22 mL

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (D) 22mL

Explanation:

Solution:

Given:

liquid concentration = 100mg/mL

weight = 20kg

dosage = 50mg/lb

converting the dosage from mg/lb to mg/kg, we have

1kg = 2.2046lb

therefore, dosage = 50mg * 2.2046/kg = 110.23mg/kg

The required solution can be obtained using the formula below

Dose = weight in kg * dosage in mg/kg 1

liquid dose = dose/liquid concentration2

Substituting into equation 1, we have

Dose = 20kg * 110.23mg/kg =  2204.6mg

For liquid dose, substitute into equation 2

Liquid dose = 2204.6mg/100mg/mL

                                       22. 046mL

Approximately 22mL

Therefore, 22mL is needed to be administered to the 20kg patient

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

they are all solids.
