While still in the hospital, the doctor writes an order for an antibiotic at 400mg / kg / day. You are nervous now because the nurse was wrong before. Assuming that you weigh 132 lb, determine how many milligrams should you be given. What is the equivalent number of grams? (Hint: 1000mg = 1 g and mg / kg / day = mg / kg * day)

    123 lb * (0.4536 kg/lb) * 300mg / (kg · day) = (123 * 0.4536 * 300) mg/day = 16737.84 mg/day 16737.84 mg/day * 1g / (1000mg) = 16.73784 g/day
