A childs amoxicillin dose is 20 mg/kg/day in divided doses every 8 hours. 1. This could also be written as 20mg/___/lb/day. 2. How many grams of amoxicillin would a 44 lb child receive daily? 3. How many milligrams/dose? 4. Amoxicillin is available as an oral suspension (125 mg/5ml). How many teaspoonsful should this child receive per dose? 5. How many teaspoonsful should this child receive per day? 6. How many milliliters would you dispense for 10 days of therapy? 7. How many fluid ounces would you dispense for 10 days of therapy? 8. How many doses would the patient receive in 7 days? Solve using ratio and proportion: 1. 1 Tbsp = 15 ml = ____tsp 2. 1 fluid oz = 30 ml = _____tsp = ______Tbsp 3. 1 pt = _____fluid oz = _____ml = _____Tbsp= _____tsp How many milliliters of a liquid laxative should be dispensed if the dose prescribed is for 1 Tbsp QID x 3 days? How many milliliters of an injection containing 90mg/ml of a drug should be administered to a 50 lb child if the recommended dose is 6mg per pound of body weight? An injectable antibiotic has a dose of 10 mg per kg of body weight. How many milliliters of a 125mg/ml injection should be administered to a child weighing 66 lb? How many ml of digoxin injection 0.5mg/2ml would provide a 100mcg dose? Solve using ratio and proportion: 1. If 10 lb of drug cost $200, what would 2 pounds cost? 2. How many pounds could you buy for $25? 3. What would 10 oz. cost? A formula for 1000 tablets contains 11.5 grams of an antihistamine. How many grams of the antihistamine should be used to prepare 475 tablets? A cough syrup contains 5 mg of a drug in each 15 ml dose. How many milligrams of drug would be contained in a 480 ml bottle of syrup? If a patient pays $0.58 per tablet for 90 NSAID tablets, how much does the entire bottle cost? If a drug costs $50 and the selling price is $60: 1. What is the markup? 2. What is the percent markup based on cost? 3. What is the percent gross profit?
