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.)

Respuesta :

To calculate the proper dose for a 175 lb patient, we need to convert the weight into kilograms.
175 lb = 79.4 kg
Then we need to calculate the proper dose, which is 1.0 mg/kg. So, the correct dose for this patient is:

• Dose (mg) = 1.0 mg/kg * 79.4 kg

• = 79.4 mg
