Answer to Question 1

ANS:
35

The correct calculation is:

77 lb/2.2 kg = 35 kg

Dose of Imuran is 1 mg/kg/day

1 mg  35 = 35 mg for the daily dose

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
125

The correct calculation is:

110 lb/2.2 kg = 50 kg

Dose of Sandimmune is 5 mg/kg/day divided bid

5 mg  50 = 250 mg/day

250 mg/2 = 125 mg for one dose
