Question

bottles of 25% Albumin in stock. How many bottles should the pharmacy
technician prepare to provide the required dose?

Answer 1

Answer : The number of bottles should the pharmacy technician prepare to provide the required dose are 4 bottles.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that a patient needs a total dose of 50 grams of albumin and the pharmacy has 50 mL bottles of 25% Albumin in stock.

Now we have to determine the number of bottles should the pharmacy technician prepare to provide the required dose.

As,

The pharmacy has stock albumin =
`50mL* (25)/(100)`

The pharmacy has stock albumin = 12.5 mL

So,

Number of bottles should the pharmacy technician prepare to provide the required dose =
`(50)/(12.5)`

Number of bottles should the pharmacy technician prepare to provide the required dose = 4

Therefore, the number of bottles should the pharmacy technician prepare to provide the required dose are 4 bottles.
