Answer #1

Prescribed dose -35units
Available dose 100units/ml
formula= Desired dose/dose in hand X V(volume of drug)
35/100X1 = 0.35ml
0.35ml=35units
desired dose =0.35ml
syringe choosen = 1ml syringe
1ml syringe hold upto 100units(1ml insulin)
3ml syringe holds upto 300units(3ml insulin)
we need desired dose in ml so choosing 1ml syringe is correct
