Penicillin G, an antibiotic, is supplied in 1 mL volumes. Each mL contains 600,000 units of penicillin. This is a dose appropriate for a 150 pound person. What is the approximate number of units administered per kilogram body weight? (Given: 1kg = 2.205 lbs)

Answer:

8820 units/kg

Explanation:

Since 1kg=2.205 lbs then [tex]\frac{150}{2.205}[/tex]=68.03 kg.

Then the dose for a 68.03 kg person is 600000 units.

Then [tex]\frac{600000}{68.03}[/tex]=8820 is equal to the number of units administered per kilogram body weight.
