Answer 1

Answer ;

The ordered dose for this given drug is 2mg for every 3 hour.
Here the available amount of drug is 4 mg / ml.
It is very easy to be understood that the 1 ml contain 4mg of this drug.
But the actual amount need to be administered is just 2 mg, that is half from the 4mg
Hence the total volume of the drug administered would be half of the 1ml.

Therefore the drug need to be infused is 0.5 ml for every three hour.
