Answer:
1 tablet
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
The dose of the Uniphyl = 5 mg/kg
Strength of the Uniphyl = 400 mg per tablet
Weight of the patient = 76 kg
Now,
The recommended dose for the patient
= Dose of the Uniphyl × weight of the patient
= 5 mg/kg × 76 kg
= 380 mg
Therefore,
The number of tablets to be administered to the patient
= [tex]\frac{\textup{Recommended dose for the patient}}{\textup{Strength of the Uniphyl}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\textup{380}}{\textup{400}}[/tex]
= 0.95 ≈ 1 tablet
Hence,
The number of tablets to be administered to the patient is 1
