Answer 1

167 ordered dose = 5mg To Available dose = 2 mg. If itab is of ang Then x tab is of 5ng . 5X1 = 2x2 . 5/2 = x a. 2.5 = x . Two & half tablet (5mg) is to be given to the patient. 177 Prescribed (Ampicillin) dose - 29 Available = 400 mg. Tab. 2 Ampicillin = ? as I gm = 1000 mg e 29m - 2 x 10%0 = 2000 mg 184 edvail able (Ergotrate) dose = 0.4 mg/ml ordered dose = 0.3 mg - volume of drug = ? . If 0.4 mg in Iml Then 0.3 mg in xml 0.4 xx0 = 1x0-3 i

x = 0.3 = 0.15 m) ..0.75 ml volume of drug to be prepared. 0.4 19. Ordered dose = 50mg (cap). Available dose = 25 mg. If 50mg of I cap a Then 25 mg in x cap. 0 soxx = 1 x 25 % x=25 = 0.51 50 Half capsule to be administered available Dicloxacillin 40mg/ml ordered diese = 0.1 gm = 100mg (as 1 gm = 1000mg volume to be administered = 2 If yomg in 1 ml Then 100mg in xml 4 xx 40 = 1 X 100 x = 100 = 2.5m) 2.5 ml of volume to be administered.

21% ordered dose = 2mg available dose 5 mg/ml volume 2 If 5 mg in 1 ml Then ang in aml a, 5xx 1 x 2 x = 2 = 0.4 . 0.4 ml volume should be withdraw from vial. 22.7 ordered dose = 0.1g. = 100mg (as igm = 1000mg) Available dose = 200mg/4ml volume ? If 200 mg in 4 ml. Then looma in xml .: 200 x r = 4 x 100 az 400 =2 m) 200 i 2ml volume should be withdraw from a vial.
