Question

choose a method of calculation dosage and complete the following dosage calculation. order: grains liiss have: 75 milligrams per caplet give: the required dosage is caplet(s). (round to the nearest integer as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert grains to milligrams

We know that \(1\) grain \( = 60\) milligrams. The order is grains \(liss\) (which is \(3.5\) grains). So the ordered dose in milligrams is \(D=3.5\times60 = 210\) milligrams.

Step2: Use the formula \(n=\frac{D}{H}\)

Where \(D\) (desired dose) is \(210\) milligrams, \(H\) (dose on - hand) is \(75\) milligrams per caplet. Then \(n=\frac{210}{75}=2.8\)

Answer:

\(3\)
