A physician writes the following order: gentamicin 1.5 mg/kg/dose every 8 hours. The patient is an obese man, 33 years of age: so gentamicin must be dosed using an adjusted body weight (ABW) with a dose correction factor of 0.4. The patient is 185 kg and is 69 inches tall. Calculate the amount in milligrams of each individual dose.

answer: atomic mass was originally used to arrange elements on the periodic table, but is no longer used to organize the modern version.

explanation:

originally atomic mass was used to arrange elements on the periodic table from left to right in a row. each column then shows similar properties of elements of a group.

in modern periodic table, the atoms are arranged in increasing atomic number. as atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom which is unique for every atom.
