Answer 1

ANSWER.

23) Calculation of amount(ml) of drug required.

            Formula = Desired dose/Dose in hand * Quantity.

        Here

            Desired dose (D) = 60 mg.

            Dose in hand (H) = 10 mg.

                   Quantity(Q) = 1 ml.

    As per formula

         Amount(ml) of drug required = D/H * Q.

                                                       = 60/10 * 1

                                                       = 6 ml.

24) Calculation of amount(ml) of drug required.

             Formula = Desired dose/Dose in hand *Quantity.

        Here

            Desired dose(D) = 10 mEq.

            Dose in hand (H) = 2 mEq.

                 Quantity(Q) = 1 ml.

     As per formula

        Amount(ml) of drug required = D.H * Q

                                                   = 10/2 * 1

                                                  = 5 ml.

25) Calculation of amount(ml) of drug will the nurse administer.

             Formula = Desired dose/Dose in hand * Quantity.

        Here

            Desired dose (D) = 4 mg.

            Dose in hand (H) = 12 mg.

                Quantity(Q) = 1 ml.

    As per formula

       Amount(ml) of drug required = 4/12 * 1

                                                     = 0.3 ml.

26) Calculation of amount(ml) of drug required.

               Formula = Desired dose /Dose in hand * Quantity.

          Here

              Desired dose(D) = 90 mg.

              Dose in hand (H) = 50 mg.

                     Quantity(Q) = 1 ml.

      As per formula

          Amount(ml) of drug required = 90/50 * 1

                                                        = 1.8 ml.
