Pharmaceutical Dosage Calculations and Solution Concentration Analysis
Solutions
1. What does "PO HS" mean in terms of medication instructions?
Answer: “PO HS” Per oral Hours Sleep
2. How would you calculate the child’s dose based on the adult dose and the child's weight?
Answer: Adult Dose X (Weight ÷ 150) = Childs Dose
20 x (30/150)= 4 mg
3. How would you calculate the child’s dose based on the adult dose and the child's age?
Answer:
Adult Dose X (Age ÷ (Age+12)) = Child's Dose
20 x (3/15)= 4 mg
4. How would you calculate the child’s dose based on the adult dose and the child’s age in
months?
Answer: (Adult Dose X child’s age in months) / 150
(20X 36)/150 = 4.8 mg
5. What is the total amount of a medication in mg required for a prescribed dosage over a
given period?
Answer: 68 mg
6. If a medication is given in teaspoons, how would you convert the total dosage to teaspoons?
Answer: 1 tsp = 5ml
(240/5)= 48
7. If a medication is prescribed for two doses per day, how would you calculate the amount of
the medication per dose?
Answer: 2 doses per day so 48/2 = 24
