Answer 1

Answer #1

ANSWER.

19) a) Calculation of ml of drug will you administer.

Formula

Volume(ml) = Desired dose/Dose in hand * Quantity.

Here

Desired dose (D) = 40 mg.

Dose in hand (H) = 25 mg.

Quantity (Q) = 1 ml

As per above formula

Volume(ml) of drug required = D/H * Q

= 40/25 * 1

= 1.6 * 1

= 1.6 ml.

b) Size of the syringe need to use = 2 ml or 2 cc syringe.
