First, convert the person's weight from pounds to kilograms (1 kg = 2.20462 lbs), which is approximately 95.25 kg. Then, calculate the dose per day: 5.00 mg/kg * 95.25 kg = 476.25 mg per dose. Since the medication is taken twice a day, the total daily dose is 476.25 mg * 2 = 952.5 mg, which is 9.525 * 10^2 mg in scientific notation.
