Answer 1

3.

1 Tablespoon = 15 ml

Formula: Milliliters(mL) = Tablespoon (tbsp) x 15

45ml = X (tbsp) x 15

X (tbsp) = 45ml/ 15ml = 3 tbsp

Hence, 45ml of solution contains 3 tablespoons

4.

1 inch is equal to 25.4 millimeters.

1" = 25.4 mm

then, 3" x 25.4 = 76.2 mm

Therefore, Tumor with 3 inches in diameter is equal to 76.2 millimeters

5.

Order: 0.75mg
quantity: 1ml
available dose: 1mg

Formula :

  

   $\frac{0.75}{1} X 1= 0.75ml$

The nurse will prepare 0.75 ml for the patient.   

6.

order: 750mg
available: 125mg
Quantity: 5ml

Formula : $\frac{Desired dose}{Dose on hand} X Quantity$

$\frac{750}{125} X 5= 30ml$

The nurse will give 30ml of the drug every 12th hourly.

7.

1 g = 1000 mg

Now convert 1.6 g to mg

1.6 x 1000 = 1600 mg

1.6 g = 1600mg

1600 mg / 200mg = 8

Therefore, 8 tablets of 200mg TZ contains 1.6g TZ

8.

order: 0.75mg

Available dose: 0.125mg

quantity :1

Formula : $\frac{Desired dose}{Dose on hand} X Quantity$

0.75 / 0.125 x1 = 6

6 capsules will be given to the patient.
