Question

101 you. This wiato & proportion. IJ IUF 16 mg of a medication. The dosage strength of the medication is 4 mg in one drop. How many drops will the nurse administer? Using the linear ratio & proportion method, this problem looks like this: 4 mg : one drop :: 16 mg: X drops. First multiple the extremes = 4 mg X Xdrops = 16 mg drop. Can cross off mg from each side and drops from each side. 4X = 16, X = 4 drops. If used fractional ratio & proportion = 4 mg over one drop = 16 mg over X number of drops. Since there is an equal sign, you can cross multiply = 4 mgdropsX = 16 mg/drops = 4 X = 16, X = 4 drops. SHOW ALL YOUR WORK AND USE THE FRACTIONAL RATIO AND PROPORTION TO ALL THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS. YOUR ANSWERS SHOULD BE THE SAME AS WHEN YOU USED THE LINEAR RATIO & PROPORTION. 2) The patient is to receive 500 grams of a drug daily. The drug bottle is labeled 650 grams in one liter. How many mL should the nurse administer? The pharmacy sends a drug labeled 20 mg per tablet. The nurse administers 0.5 tablet.
