1.5g*150/2.2
finally
mls= 150/2.2 * 1.5 /.15
check that
I get over 680 ml
First, let's convert the weight:
1 pound = 0.45359237 kilograms (kg)
So, 150 pounds = 150 * 0.45359237 kg = 68.0388555 kg (rounded to the nearest decimal place).
Now, let's calculate the dose of mannitol for the patient:
Dose = 1.5g/kg * 68.0388555 kg
Dose = 102.05828325 g
Next, we need to calculate the volume of the 15% mannitol solution needed, which is given that the solution is 15%.
15% solution means that for every 100 ml of solution, there are 15 grams of mannitol.
Let's set up a proportion to find the volume of solution needed:
15 g / 100 ml = 102.05828325 g / x ml
Cross-multiplying, we get:
15x = 102.05828325 * 100
Now, solve for x (volume):
x = (102.05828325 * 100) / 15
x = 680.3885525 ml (rounded to the nearest decimal place)
Therefore, approximately 680.39 ml of the 15% mannitol solution should be administered to a 150-pound patient.
