An ibuprofen suspension for infants contains 100 mg/5.0 mL suspension. The recommended dose is 10 mg/kg body weight. How many mL of this suspension should be given to an infant weighing 18 lb? (Assume two significant figures.)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Convert the infant's weight from pounds to kilograms using the conversion factor: 1 lb = 0.453592 kg.
Calculate the recommended dose in milligrams for the infant by multiplying the infant's weight in kilograms by the dose per kilogram (10 mg/kg).
Determine the concentration of ibuprofen in the suspension, which is given as 100 mg per 5.0 mL.
Calculate the volume of suspension needed by using the formula: Volume (mL) = (Recommended dose in mg) / (Concentration in mg/mL).
Ensure the final answer is expressed with two significant figures, as required by the problem.
