The doctor has prescribed an intramuscular injection of murexine every 4 hours for a patient with severe back spasms. The prescribed dose is 45.0 mcg per Kg of body weight per day. If your patient weighs 215 pounds and the murexine is supplied as a solution containing 2.73 mg of murexine per 10.0 mls. of solution, how many mls. of murexine solution would you administer per injection? (Note that 1.0 Kg = 2.2 pounds and 1000 mcg. = 1 mg.).
