A patient takes 150mg of medication daily. How many grams is that over a week?

To find out how many grams a patient takes over a week when they are taking 150 mg of medication daily, you'll first want to calculate the total amount taken in a week (7 days).

Start by multiplying the daily dosage by the number of days in a week:

150 mg/day × 7 days = 1050 mg.

Next, to convert milligrams to grams, remember that 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. Therefore, you divide the total amount in milligrams by 1000:

1050 mg ÷ 1000 = 1.05 g.

This gives you a total of 1.05 grams taken over a week, making the correct answer 1.05 g. This process illustrates the importance of unit conversion and multiplication in calculating medication dosages, which are essential skills for pharmacy technicians.
