The quantity of drugs that would be administered for each prescription are 3ml, 50.30ml, 5.70 ml, 10 ml, and 1.8 ml respectively.
A physician prescribes drugs according to diagnosis, age and weight of the patient.
- The quantity of epinephrine that should be administered to the patient is 3ml and it's calculated as:
1 mg = 10ml
0.3 mg = x ml
Therefore, xml = 0.3 ×10/1
xml = 3mg
- The quantity of medication that would be administered to the child is 50.30ml and it's calculated as:
covert pounds( Ibs) to kg
1 kg = 2.2 Ibs
x kg = 97 Ibs
Therefore, x kg = 97 × 1/2.2
= 44kg
From the prescription,
1 kg = 2mg
44kg = 2 × 44
= 88mg
But the medication is supplied as 1.75mg/ml.
If, 1.75 mg = 1 ml
88 mg= x ml
x ml = 88 × 1/1.75
= 50.30ml
- The quantity of Tylenol that would be given to child is 5.70 ml and it's calculated as:
covert pounds( Ibs) to kg
1 kg = 2.2 Ibs
x kg = 40 Ibs
Therefore, x kg = 40 × 1/2.2
= 18.2 kg
From the prescription,
1 kg = 10mg
18.2kg = 10 × 18.2
= 182 mg
But the Tylenol is supplied as 160mg/5ml.
If, 160 mg = 5 ml
182 mg = x ml
x ml = 182 × 5/160
= 910/160
= 5.70ml
- The quantity of Tylenol that should be administered is 10 ml and it's calculated as:
Tylenol is supplied as 325mg/12.5ml
Quantity ordered by the doctor is 260mg
Quantity that should be administered = 260 × 12.5/325
=3250/325
= 10 ml
- The quantity of Lasix that should be administered is 1.8 ml and it's calculated as:
Lasix is supplied as 10 mg/ml
The amount ordered is 18mg
Quantity that should be administered = 18/10
= 1.8 ml
