A male patient requires intravenous gentamicin for a healthcare acquired infection. The dose of gentamicin is calculated as 7 mg/kg of ideal body weight, three times a day. The patient is 6 feet tall and weighs 98 kg. Ideal body weight for a male is calculated as 50 kg plus 2.3 kg for every inch over 5 feet in height.

Given the above information, what is the dose of gentamicin required for this patient, to the nearest milligram?

answer:
