Question

a loading dose of chlordiazepoxide for an adult patient is administered by means of intramuscular injection. if the concentration of the solution is 10 mg/ml, how many 2.5 ml injections must be given at one point to provide the patient with a daily adult dose of 75 mg.

Answer 1

The concentration of the solution is 10mg/ml.

so 2.5 ml injections will provide the patient with 25mg of dose of Chlordiazepoxide. (hence 1ml contains 10mg , 2.5 multiplies 10 times gives 25, 2.5ml contains 25mg)

so 3 times 2.5ml injections must be given to provide the patient with 75mg dose.
