Lucy lab tech is to administer a glucose tolerance test on Mrs. Sweet. Mrs. Sweet is a fairly large lady weighing 330 pounds. The normal 8 oz. bottle of glucola used in the test is designed for patients with a weight range of 100-220 pounds. Patients weighting less that 90 or more than 250 pounds should be given a dosage of 2 ml/kg. How many ounces (oz) of glucola should Lucy give to Mrs. Sweet?

10.12 oz

Explanation:

Since Mrs. Sweet weighs outside the 100-220 pounds, she will receive a dosage of 2 ml/kg. Her weight is 330 pounds.

1 pound = 0.453592 kg

330 pounds = 330 x 0.453592 = 149.685 kg

2 mL of glucola is required for 1 kg of weight. Hence 149.685 kg would require;

                    2 x 149.685 = 299.37 mL

1 oz. of glucola is equivalent to 29.5735 mL. Hence 299.37 mL would be equivalent to,

                       299.37/29.5735 = 10.12 oz. of glucola

Lucy should therefore give Mrs. Sweet 10.12 ounces of glucola.
