Using a vial with medication C and strength 400 mg/mL, you must prepare a 100 mL IV bag that is 0.5% strength. Do not Round. If necessary, convert to a fraction or mixed number.
Answer:
Given medication strength (C1) = 400mg/mL
requires strength(C2) = 0.5%
0.5% drug strength means it conatains 0.5 gram in 100mL
convert gram/mL into mg/mL: (1gram = 1000mg)
0.5grm/100ml = 5mg/mL (C2)
prepare dose volume (v2)= 100mL
Formula : C1V1 = C2V2
400mg/mL V1 = 5mg/mL 100mL
400mg/mL V1= 500mg
V1 = 500mg / 400mg/mL
= 5/4 mL
= 1.25 mL
Required volume = 1.25mL
