using dimensional analysis how do you calculate this

Answer 1

ANSWER :

7) Order : Percocet 2 tablets every 6 hrs

Supply : 1 tablet contains 5mg Oxycodone and 325 mg Acetaminophen.

▪︎Oxycodone :

1tablet ----------> 5mg of oxycodone

2 tablets ----------> ??

= (2 tab × 5 mg ) ÷ 1tab = 10 mg

So, patient gets 10 mg of oxycodone per dose.

▪︎Acetaminophen :

1 tablet -------> 325 mg Acetaminophen

2 tablets ---------> ??

= ( 2 tab × 325 mg) ÷ 1tab = 650 mg / dose

If given every 6th hrly for 24 hrs , patient gets total 4 doses,

= 650 × 4 = 2600 mg

So, patient will receive total 2600 mg of Acetaminophen in 24 hrs.

8) Order : Metaprolol 2.5 mg IVP stat

Supply : Metaprolol 5mg / 5ml single use vial

5mg -----------> 5ml

2.5 mg ----------> ??

= ( 2.5mg × 5ml ) ÷ 5 mg = 2.5 ml

So, the patient will receive 2.5ml per dose

If 2 doses are received ,

1 dose -------> 2.5 mg

2 doses ---------> ??

= ( 2 dose × 2.5 mg ) ÷ 1dose = 5 mg

So , for 2 doses patient will receive 5 mg of Metaprolol.
