Order: Pediapred 60 mg/m2/day PO in three divided doses for 4 weeks. 

Order: Pediapred 60 mg/m2/day PO in three divided doses for 4 weeks. Calculate how many milliliters of this anti-inflammatory agent you will administer to a child who has nephrotic syndrome and weighs 30 pounds and is 36 inches tall. The strenth on the vial is 5 mg per 5 mL. I know the answer is 11.8 mL, but I don't know how to show dimensional analysis to get there. A simple explanation showing the work would be greatly appreciated!
