Answer #1

ANSWER.

10) Calculation of volume(ml) of drug required.

      Formula

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

Here

      Desired dose(D) = 700 mg (0.7 g)

      Dose in hand (H) = 350 mg.

         Quantity (Q) = 1 ml

As per above formula

      Volume(ml) drug administered for this patient = D/H * Q

                                                                             = 700 / 350 * 1

                                                                             = 2 * 1

                                                                             = 2 ml.
