Answer:
volume = 11.56ml
Explanation:
Composition of Tegretol Suspension = 100mg/5ml
This means that:
100mg = 5ml
1 mg = 5/100 ml
1 mg = 0.05ml
prescribed dosage = 15mg/kg/day
weight of child = 34 pounds
1 pound = 0.4535 kg
∴ 34 pounds = 0.4535 × 34 = 15.419 kg
∴ prescribed dose = 15mg/kg
1kg = 15mg
∴ 15.419kg = 15 × 15.419 = 231.285mg
composition = 100mg/5ml
100mg = 5ml
1 mg = 5/100 = 0.05ml
∴231.285mg = 0.05 × 231.285
= 11.56ml
