A patient is to receive a drug at the rate of 10 mg/kg p.o. daily. The patient weighs 93 kg. The strength of the drug is 250 mg/mL. How many milliliters should the patient receive?
1. 0.27 mL
2. 2.7
3. 37.2 mL
4. 3.7 mL

Global Rationale: The correct dosage for a 93 kg. client = 93 × 10 = 930 mg. 250 mg/1 mL = 930mg/x; cross multiply yielding 250x = 930; x = 930 ÷ 250 = 3.72 mL
