Chapter 1, Problem 4KSP

A 28-kg child can consume a maximum of 23 children's acetaminophen tablets in an 8-h period without exceeding the safety-limit maximum allowable dose. Given that each children's tablet contains 80 mg of acetaminophen, determine the maximum allowable dose in mg per pound of body weight for one day.

$\begin{array}{l}(\text{a})\\ \text{80 mg/lb}\\ \text{(b)}\\ \text{90 mg/lb}\\ \text{(c)}\\ \text{430 mg/lb}\\ \text{(d)}\\ \text{720 mg/lb}\\ \text{(e)}\\ \text{3}\text{.7 mg/lb}\end{array}$
