you have a daughter that weighs 11.0 kg. theh dosage for ibuprofen is 10.0 mg for every kg of body mass. the bottle has 20.0 mg of ibuprofen per cc of suspension. how many cc of suspension should you give her?
From your data, the dose you want is 11 kg times 10 mg = 110 mg
How many cc would you need to reach that point?
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To find out how many cc of suspension you should give your daughter, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the total dosage of ibuprofen needed.
The dosage for ibuprofen is 10.0 mg for every kg of body mass. In this case, your daughter weighs 11.0 kg, so we multiply her weight by the dosage:
Total dosage = 10.0 mg/kg x 11.0 kg = 110.0 mg
Step 2: Convert the dosage to cc of suspension.
The bottle contains 20.0 mg of ibuprofen per cc of suspension. To find out how many cc of suspension is needed for the dosage, we divide the total dosage by the concentration of the suspension:
Volume of suspension = Total dosage / Concentration of suspension
Volume of suspension = 110.0 mg / 20.0 mg/cc
Volume of suspension = 5.5 cc
So, you should give your daughter 5.5 cc of suspension.
