Available Concentration: 325 mg per 10.15 mLs How many mg will the child receive in one 24-hour period? Round your answer to the nearest whole number _________mg

Calculation: Dose per administration = 400 mg. Calculate the number of doses in one 24-hour period. Number of doses = Total hours / Frequency of administration = 24 hours / 4 hours/dose = 6 doses. Calculate the total milligrams (mg) the child will receive in a 24-hour period. Total mg = Dose per administration (mg) x Number of doses = 400 mg x 6 doses = 2400 mg.
