Chapter 1, Problem 1.101AP
A mother calls you to ask about a proper dosage of cough medicine for her 2-year-old. The bottle says to administer 5.0 mg/kg three times a day for children under 3 years of age. The cough syrup is supplied in a liquid that contains 50.0 mg/mL. How many teaspoons of cough syrup should she give the child, who weighs 28 lb, in each dose?

Dr. Hellman writes an order for 300 mg of a Gl cocktail to be taken every 6 hours by a patient. The Gl cocktail comes from the
pharmacy as 50 mg/3 mL. How many mL will you give the patient in a day if they are medicated as ordered.
The safe dosage of the IV antibiotic ceftriaxone for children weighing more than 2.0 kg is 60. mg per kilogram of body weight. Suppose a pediatric nurse has available 1.5 L of a ceftriaxone solution with a concentration of 0.030 g/mL. How can she calculate the volume of this solution that she should administer to a child weighing 41. kg? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression.
You can calculate cost effectiveness using the following formula:
volume of HCI neutralized per dose /cost per dose (formula)
If you calculated that your volume of HCl neutralized per dose was 10.22 mL, calculate the cost effectiveness for Brand X. You can directly use the cost per dose you calculated in the previous problem.
Do not include a unit in your answer. Report your answer to two decimal places.
Brand X antacid:
2 tablets / 500 mg dose
40 tablets / container
Cost: $3.75 / container
