What volume of solution would you administer? " x 2.2- 20

Answer 1

ANSWER.

10) Dilution would you select = 2.2 ml (5000,000 units/ml).

      Volume(ml) of solution required.

           Formula = Desired dose/Dose in hand * Quantity.

     Here

          Desired dose(D) = 11million (11000,000) units.

As per dilution table selected

         Dose in hand(H) = 5000,000 units.

            Quantity(Q) = 1 ml.

As per above formula

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

                                                      = 11000,000 / 5000,000 * 1

                                                      = 2.2 ml.
