1. Amanda weighs 48 pounds (lbs). The physician ordered a drug that is delivered in the proportion of milligrams (mg) of medication to kilograms (kg) of body weight. To deliver the accurate dose of medication to the patient, the pharmacy must convert pounds to kilograms. By using the ratio of 1 kilogram (kg) to 2.2 pounds, calculate the amount of medication to be administered.

Sagot :

48 pounds/1 *  1 kg/2.2 pounds=21.82 kg
amanda weighs 21.82 kg, so the amount of medication that needs to be administered should be 21.82 mg.
