Given:
Desired dose: 50 mg/kg
Stock on hand: 25 mg/ml
Body weight: 290 lbs
Body Weight Formula:
Desired Dose = weight in lbs/2.2 lbs/kg X dose / 1kg
( Converting weigt in lbs to kg)
Desired dose= 290lbs/2.2lbs/kg X 50 mg/kg
= 131.8 kg X 50mg /kg
= 6590.9 mg rounded off to 6 591 mg
Dosage Formula: SD/SH X Q
(Stock desired divided by stock on hand multiplied by quantity or volume)
=6591 mg/ 25 mg X 1 ml
= 263.64 ml
Using all tha data provided, your calculation is CORRECT!!

1. Change weight in pounds to weight in kilograms:
290lbs/ 2.2lbs per kg= 131.8 kg
2. Multiply weight by desired dose to see how many miligrams you will need:
131.8kg * 50mg per ml= 6590mg
3. Divide needed milligrams(6590) by available:
6590mg/25mg per ml= 263.6ml
263.6 ml is CORRECT!!
