Question

Convert each item to its equivalent mg 1.0.080 g =

Answer 1

1. Answer.

0.080 grams into mg?

to convert grams into milligrams we MULTIPLY the number by 1000

For eg;

To convert 1 gram into milligrams we will simply multiply   1 X 1000 = 1000 MILLIGRAMS

IN THE GIVEN QUESTION,

IT IS ASKED TO CONVERT 0.080 INTO MILLIGRAMS.

WE WILL MULTIPLY THE MASS VALUE THAT IS 0.080 BY 1000

= 0.080 gm x 1000 = 80 milligrams

= 80 milligrams WILL BE THE ANSWER.

Answer 1

ORDER= TAGAMET

DOSES = 600 MG

FREQUENCY= BD ( TWICE A DAY )

TWICE A DAY MEANS 600 MG OF THE TABLET WILL BE GIVEN EACH TIME.

CIMETIDINE IS THE DRUG NAME WHICH IS ALSO AVAILABLE WITH THE BRAND NAME TAGAMET

AND TAGAMET AVAILABLE DOSES IN TABLET FORMS ARE 200 MG, 300 MG, 400 MG, AND 800 MG,

IT WILL BE EASY FOR THE NURSE TO ADMINISTER   300 MG TABLETS

The nurse would administer TWO (2) TABLETS of 300 mg for each dose that will be equal to 600 mg

The patient would receive 1200 mg of Tagamet in 24 hours,

as one dose contains 600 mg and it is prescribed twice in 24 hours, therefore, 2 X 600 mg = 1200 mg in 24 hours.
