The Deep Dive
To figure out how much medication the child requires, you can first find out how many 5 lbs increments are in 36 lbs. Since 36 lbs divided by 5 lbs equals 7.2, we round this down to 7 increments (as you typically wouldn't dose a partial increment in this case). Multiplying 7 by 25 mg gives you 175 mg of medication. If we want to be precise and account for the total weight, taking the full 36 lbs into consideration means: (36 lbs/5 lbs) = 7.2 increments. Thus, 7.2 x 25 mg equals 180 mg. So, the correct answer is 180 mg!
