ANSWER.
* Calculation of amount (ml) of drug required.
Formula = Desired dose /Dose in hand *Quantity.
Desired dose (D) = 0.55 mg/kg.
Weight of the patient = 110 lbs.
Convert lbs to kg for calculation
1 lbs = 0.45 kg.
So
Weight of the patient = 110/0.45
= 49.89 kg.
= 50 kg.
Desired dose (D) for this patient = 0.55 * 50
= 27.5 mg.
Dose in hand (H) = 10 mg.
Quantity (Q) = 5 ml.
As per formula
Amount(ml) required = D/H *Q
= 27.5/10 * 5
= 2.75 * 5
= 13.75
= 14 ml.
