(Solved) A healthy concentration of LDL cholesterol falls in the range of 100-130 mg dL-1
A healthy concentration of LDL cholesterol falls in the range of 100-130 mg dL-1. A doctor might prescribe a statin if a person’s concentration of LDL cholesterol reaches 190 mg dL-1. Given these guidelines, your goal is to determine the dosage of the drug needed to decrease the concentration of LDL cholesterol by -60 mg dL-1. Directions: Use the path model in Figure 2 to answer question 17. Round all calculated values to the nearest tenths of a decimal place. For example, if you calculate the value as 3.821853, round to 3.8. What dosage of the drug (mg/d) must be administered to reduce LDL cholesterol in the blood by 60 mg dL-1? As a note, the drug has no effect on LDL cholesterol in the body at dosages of 4.0 mg d-1 or less, so be sure to add 4.0 mg d-1 to your final answer. Dosage of drug (mg/d) = Expert Answer
