Explanation / Answer
1. Correct answer:- 5 ml
Solution:- following data are given in question-
- Medication prescribed = 250 mg
-In hand (available) = 250 mg/5 ml
= Means 250 mg in 5 ml solution
Dosage= D/H×Q
D= dosage prescribed
H= dosage in hand
Q = quantity in one dose
= (250/250)*5
= 5 ml
2. Correct answer:- 10 ml
Solution:- following data are given in question-
- Medication prescribed = 1000 mg
-In hand (available) = 1 gram/10ml
= Means 1000 mg in 10 ml solution
Dosage= D/H×Q
D= dosage prescribed
H= dosage in hand
Q = quantity in one dose
= (1000/1000)*10
= 10 ml answer
3. Answer:- 3 tablespoon
Explanation:- 1 US tablespoon = 14.78 ml~ 15ml
Then 45 ml = 3 tablespoon
4. Answer:- 76.2 mm
Explanation :- 1 inch = 25.4 millimetres
Then 3 inches = (25.4×3)
= 76.2 mm
5. Correct answer:- 10 ml
Solution:- following data are given in question-
- Medication prescribed = 750 mg
-In hand (available) = 500 mg /3ml
= Means 500 mg in 3 ml solution
Dosage= D/H×Q
D= dosage prescribed
H= dosage in hand
Q = quantity in one dose
= (750/500) ×3
= 4.5 ml
6. Answer:- 4 ounce
Explanation:- 1 ounce = 29.57 ml
Then 120 ml = 4 ounce
7. Correct answer:- 0.75 ml
Solution:- following data are given in question-
- Medication prescribed = 0.75 mg
-In hand (available) = 1 mg/1ml
= Means 1 mg in 1 ml solution
Dosage= D/H×Q
D= dosage prescribed
H= dosage in hand
Q = quantity in one dose
= (0.75/1)*1
= 0.75 ml answer
