Nursing Student Asked:

"I’m preparing for a dosage calculation exam and need help solving this problem: A patient weighs 75 kg and needs a medication dose of 2 mg/kg. The concentration of the medication is 4 mg/mL. How many mL do I give? Can you walk me through the math?"

Of course! Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Calculate the total dose required.
