How many grams of fluorouracil will a 165 lb. patient receive in 7 days at a dosage rate of 14 mg/kg/day?
0.86g
4.2g
7.3g
9.6g
7.3g
Rationale: 7.3g of fluorouracil will be received by the 165 lb. patient in 7 days at a dosage rate of 14 mg/kg/day. To calculate, convert 164 lbs. to kilograms as follows: 164 / 2.2 lbs per kg = 74.5 kilograms. Calculate the amount of drug the patient will receive per day: 14 mg/kg/day x 70 kg = 1043 mg. Multiply the amount per day times 7 days (1043 mg/day x 7 days = 7305 mg). Convert milligrams to grams: 7305 mg / 1000 mg per gram = 7.3g.
