Administration of digitalis, a drug used to control atrial fibrillation in heart patients, must be carefully controlled because even a modest overdosage can be fatal. To take differences betwee patients into account, drug dosages are prescribed in terms of mg drug/kg body weight. Thus, a child and an adult differ greatly in weight, but both receive the same dosage per kilogram of body weight. At a dosage of 20. ug drug/kg body weight, how many milligrams of digitalis should a 160. lb patient receive? (1 kg = 2.2046 lb)

In preparing an infusion of the drug cetuximab, a pharmacist adds 15 mL of bacteriostatic water for injection to a vial containing 350 mg of the mAb. The resulting solution contains cetuximab, 24 mg/mL. Loading dose = 4 mg/kg (120 min infusion); maintenance dose = 1.8 mg/kg/wk (60 min infusion) (a) calculate the milliliters of solution required for the loading dose for a 200-lb patient. The pharmacist then transfers the calculated volume into an infusion bag containing 300 mL of sodium chloride injection. Calculate (b) the quantity of cetuximab administered in mg/min and (c) the drip rate, in drops/minute, using an administration set that delivers 15 drops/mL.
