An intramuscular medication is given at 20 mg/kg of body weight. If you give 560 mg of medication to a patient, what is the patient’s weight in pounds? (1 kg = 2.20 lbs)

62 lb

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Dosage of the intramuscular medication: 20 mg/kg of body weight

Mass of the intramuscular medication: 560 mg

Step 2: Calculate the body weight of the patient

560 mg IM × (1 kg BW/20 mg IM) = 28 kg BW

Step 3: Convert the body weight of the patient to pounds

We will use the relationship 1 kg = 2.20 lb.

28 kg × (2.20 lb/1 kg) = 62 lb

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.

cytokinesis is the splitting of a cell membrane to form 2 identical daughter cells. it's similar to mitosis as both cells have identical copies of dna and cytokinesis is a step in the mitotic cycle.
