Answer 1

ANSWER- 17) Given ,

strength of drug- 50mEq in 15mL

Prescribed dose - 90mEq

To find - prepare a dose of 90mEq

Standard formula - X= D/A x Q

Where , D= doctor prescription

A= strength printed on medicine level

Q= unit in which printed strength present

X = 90/50 x 15 = 27mL answer= 27mL

ANSWER- 18) Given ,

prescribed dose - 120mg

strength of drug - 80mg in 4mL

X= D/A x Q

=120mg/80mg x4mL = 6mL answer - 6mL

ANSWER- 19) Given ,

prescribed dose - 18mg

strength of drug - 20mg in 50mL

X= D/A x Q

= 18mg/20mg x 50mL = 45mL answer= 45mL

ANSWER- 20) Given ,

prescribed dose - 6mg

strength of drug - 20mg in 25mL

X = D/A x Q

= 6mg/ 20mg x 25mL = 7.5mL answer = 7.5mL

ANSWER - 21) Given ,

prescribed dose - 175,000 units

strength of drug - 500000 units in 7.5mL

X = D/A x Q

= 175000 units/ 500000 x 7.5mL = 2.6 mL answer= 2.6mL

ANSWER- 22) Given ,

prescribed dose - 350mg

strength available - 1g in 50mL

1g = 1000mg

X= D/A x Q

= 350mg/ 1000mg x 50mL = 17.5mL answer= 17.5mL

ANSWER- 23) Given ,

prescribed dose - 15 mEq

strength available - 60 mEq in 6mL

X = D/A x Q

= 15mEq/ 60mEq x 6mL = 1.5 mL answer = 1.5mL

ANSWER 24) Given,

prescribed dose - 45mEq

strength available - 10mEq in 25mL

X = D/A x Q

= 45mEq / 10 mEq x 25mL = 112mL answer = 112mL

ANSWER 25) Given ,

prescribed dose - 100mg

strength available - 0.2 g in 2mL 0.2 gram = 200mg

X = D/A x Q

= 100mg / 200mg x 2mL = 1mL answer- 1mL
