I'll show you how to carry out this calculation for a patient that is, say, just under 180 pounds or 80 kilograms.
00:11
We need to know the mass of the individual or we're not going to be able to determine the daily dosage.
00:19
And i can't find the mass of the patient.
00:22
So i'm going to assume it's 80.
00:24
If it's different, you use what it's supposed to be.
00:27
So the patient needs 14 milligrams per kilogram per day.
00:33
So at a mass of 80 kilograms, the patient will need 14 milligrams per kilogram per day.
00:46
The kilograms will cancel and will be left with the milligrams per day.
00:52
So we simply take 14, we multiply by 80, and that gives us 1 ,120...
