    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since the dose ordered is 25mg/kg/day, and the patients weight is 90kg, the daily dose is:

    25mg/kg/day * 90kg = 2250mg/day divided by the 250mg cnained in each tablet, we get:

    2250mg/day / 250mg/tablet = 9 tablets/day

    For the total 15days of medical treatment, the amount of tablets will be:

    9 tablets/day * 15 days = 135 tablets
