Drug x is to be administered intravenously at a dosage of 20 mg/kg. a patient weighing 60 kg should receive
a. 60 mg
b. 120 mg
c. 600 mg
d. 1200 mg

D. 1200 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the solution we need to understand that a dosage of 20 mg/kg means that 20 mg are administered to the patient for each kg of his/her weight.

So, if the patient weight is 60 kg then:

Total drug X = (20mg/Kg)*(60Kg)=1200mg.

In conclusion, 1200 mg will be administered to the patient, so the answer is D.

4 and 5)16.97 or 12√2

6)15.59 or 9√3

7)y = 15.59 or 9√3     x =27

8)17.80

one set of data has more variation than the other. hope this !
