Answer 1

Answer #1

Order of physician is levothyroxone 0.3mg IV daily.

1mg = 1000 mcg. So, 0.3 mg = 300 mcg.

Label states 200 mcg.

Package indicates 200 mcg to be administered into 5 ml NaCl

So, concentration will be 200 mcg/5 mL.

Per mL concentration will be 40 mcg/ml.

To deliver 300 mcg, the volume will be 300/40 = 7.5 ml.

You should administer 7.5 ml.
