Aphysician orders aminophylline 7.5 mg per kg of body weight. the patient weighs 110 lb. if aminophylline is available in 0.125-g tablets, how many tablets should patient receive?

The patient will receive 2 whole tablets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight of the drug to be administered can be expressed as;

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=Dose per weight of patient×weight of patient

where;

Dose per weight of patient=7.5 mg per kg

weight of patient=110 lb

1 kilogram=2.205 lb

weight of patient in kilograms=110/2.205=49.89 kilograms

replacing;

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=Dose per weight of patient×weight of patient

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=(7.5×49.89)=374.175 mg

Total weight of tablets=374.175 mg

Total weight of tablets=weight per tablet×number of tablets

where;

Total weight of tablets=374.175 mg

Weight per tablet=0.125 g

1 gram=1000 mg

Weight per tablet in mg=(1,000×0.125)=125 mg

Number of tablets=n

replacing;

Total weight of tablets=weight per tablet×number of tablets

374.175=125×n

n=374.175/125

n=2.9934

The patient will receive 2 whole tablets.

aa you find two angles because it will always add up to 180

sss find all sides
