A patient received 0.21 g of active drug in a medication. If the recommended dose for the drug is 10. mg/kg, what is the weight of the patient in pounds (lb)?

10 mg/kg x # kg of patient = 210 mg

#kg of patient = approx 210/10 =21 kg
21 kg x 1000g/1 kg x 1 lb/454 g = ?

Thank you! @Drbob222.

To determine the weight of the patient in pounds (lb), we need additional information. Specifically, we need to know the dosage of the drug prescribed for the patient.

The given information states that the patient received 0.21 g of active drug in the medication. However, this information does not directly allow us to determine the weight of the patient in pounds.

Once we have the dosage prescribed for the patient, we can utilize the recommended dose of 10 mg/kg to calculate the weight of the patient in kilograms (kg). Then, we can convert this weight from kilograms (kg) to pounds (lb).

Please provide the dosage prescribed for the patient, and I will guide you through the calculations to determine the weight of the patient in pounds (lb).
