Scenario: Molly is a medical assistant working at a clinic in a large metropolitan area. Currently, Molly is training Sam, a new employee who has just joined the staff. Sam is taking classes in order to prepare for admission to the medical assistant program at a local community college. Molly is helping Sam learn some of the skills he will need as a medical assistant. Make sure to include the correct unit for each answer. 1) Sam counted 12 liters of hand sanitizer in the storage cabinet. He fills the dispensers in seven of the examination rooms as follows: 350 mL, 600 mL, 475 mL, 580 mL, 650 mL, 720 ml, and 500 mL Show work here Final answer with units a. How many total milliliters did Sam use to fill the dispensers? b. After filling the dispensers, how many liters of sanitizer remain in the storage cabinet?

Answer 1

1.

Total amount of hand sanitizer = 12 liter(L)

1 litter = 1000 milliliter(mL)

Thus total amount of hand sanitizer in mL = 12 x 1000 = 12000 mL

Total amount of hand sanitizer filled in 7 dispensers = 350+600+475+580+650+720+500 = 3,875 mL

Amount of hand sanitizer remaining = Total amount of hand sanitizer in mL ^{$\large -$} Total amount of hand sanitizer filled in 7 dispensers

12000 - 3875

=8,125 milliliter(mL)

=8125 $\large \div$ 1000 = 8.125 Liters

Thus the answer is, a) 3,875 millilitter and b) 8.125 Liters

2.

Total amount of flu vaccine = 3 Liters

1 litter = 1000 milliliter(mL)

Total amount of flu vaccine in milliliter = 3 x 1000 = 3000 mL

Amount of vaccine in each flu shot = 5 mL

Total number of flu injections in 3L of vaccine container = 3000 $\large \div$ 5 = 600

Total amount of flue vaccine in 350 flu shots( given) = 350 x 5 = 1750 mL

Amount of vaccine remaining in the container = Total amount of flu vaccine ^{$\large -$} Total amount of flue vaccine given

  = 3000 ^{$\large -$} 1750 = 1250 mL

= 1250 $\large \div$ 1000 = 1.25 Liter

Thus the answers are a) 600 and b)1.25 Liters

3.

Amount of solution to be refilled = 1 Liters 275 milliliters

1000 milliliter(mL) = 1 litter

so, Amount of solution to be refilled = 1 Liters + (275 $\large \div$ 1000) = 1+ .275

= 1.275 Liters

Total amount of solution in tha container = 6 Liters

Amunt of remaining solution in the container after filling = 6 ^{$\large -$} 1.275 = 4.725 Liters

Thus the answer is 4.725 liters

4.

Weight of the baby in kg = 8.5

1 kg = 2.2 lb

Thus the weight of the baby in pounds = 8.5 x 2.2 = 18.7 lb

Length of the baby in cm = 60.5

2.54 cm = i inch

Thus the length of the baby in inches = 60.5 x 2.54 = 153.67 inches

Thus the answers are, a) 18.7 lb and b) 153.67 "

5.

Amount of medication to be given in one day = 30 mL twice

Thus one dose is 30 mL

1 tablespoons = 15 mL

a) Thus one dose = 30 $\large \div$ 15 = 2 tablespoons

b) Amount of medication to be given in one day = 30 mL twice means 30 x 2 = 60 mL

1 fl oz = 30 mL

c) Thus, Amount of medication to be given in one day in fl oz = 60 $\large \div$ 30 = 2 fl oz

Total amount of medication in the bottle = 16 fl oz

Amount of medication to be given in one day = 2 fl oz

d)Number of days the bottle of medication last = 16 $\large \div$ 2 = 8 days

Thus the answers are, a) 2 tablespoons, b) 60 mL, c) 2 fl oz and d) 8 days
