Homework Answers
ANSWER.
* Calculation of number of tablets required.
Ordered dose = 320 mg
Available dose = 80 mg/tablet.
Number of tablets required = Ordered dose / Available dose
= 320/80
= 4 tablets.
* Calculation of number of tablets required.
Ordered dose = 0.25 mg.
Available dose = 0.125 mg/tablet.
Number of tablets required = Ordered dose /Available dose
= 0.25/0.125
= 2 tablets PO QD
* Calculation of volume(ml) of drug required.
Formula
Volume(ml) = Desired dose /Dose in hand * Quantity.
Here
Ordered dose = 0.25 mg/kg
Weight of the patient = 220 lb
Convert lb to kg for calculation
1 lb = 0.454 kg
Weight of the patient = 220 * 0.454
= 99.8 kg.
So
Desired dose (D) = 0.25 * 99.8
= 24.95 mg.
Dose in hand (H) = 100 mg
Quantity (Q) = 20 ml
As per above formula
Volume(ml) of drug required = D/H * Q
= 24.95 / 100 * 20
= 0.25 * 20
= 5 ml.
