Question

Doctor's order is Epinephrine 0.5 mg SC now. Supply is Epinephrine 1:1000 solution. Calculate the volume per dose to be administered using a TB syringe.

Answer 1

0.5 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

we have given the ratio 1:1000 that is i gram in 1000 ml

1 gram =1000 mg ( as we know that )

`volume\ per\ dose\ to\ be\ administered=(desired\ amount)/(amount\ in\ hand)* quantity`

so using this formula

`volume\ per\ dose\ to\ be\ administreted=(0.5)/(1000)* 1000 = 0.5 ml`

so the the volume per dose to be administered using a TB syringe=0.5 ml
