🟦 0.45 g × 1000 mg/g = 450 mg

🟦 Formula:

🟦 mL to give = (Desired ÷ Have) × mL

🟦 mL = (450 mg ÷ 125 mg) × 5 mL

🟦 mL = 3.6 × 5

Answer 9

Correct Answers:

1.4

Rationale :

🟦 Order = 1 mg/kg SQ

🟦 Available = 80 mg/mL

🟦 Weight = 242 lb

🟦 Convert (lb → kg):

🟦 kg = 242 ÷ 2.2 = 110 kg

🟦 Step 1: Calculate mg ordered:

🟦 Dose (mg) = 1 mg/kg × 110 kg = 110 mg

🟦 Formula:

🟦 mL to give = Desired (mg) ÷ Concentration (mg/mL)

🟦 mL = 110 mg ÷ 80 mg/mL
