Answer #1

as we have to administer 1gm suppository and available is 325mg...we have to calculate how many suppository to administer..

>> desired amount =ordered dose/amount in hand

>>first we have to convert the gram to milligram

1gm=1000mg..

1000/325=3.07

so we have to adminiter 3 full suppository and 0.7 part of suppository
