Question

You have made up an infusion with 1 gram aminophylline in 1 litre of IV fluid. How many mg/mL of aminophylline is this?

Answer 1

The concentration of aminophylline in the IV fluid is 1000 mg/mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the concentration in mg/mL, we need to convert grams to milligrams and liters to milliliters.

1 gram of aminophylline is equivalent to 1000 milligrams since 1 gram = 1000 milligrams.

1 liter is equivalent to 1000 milliliters since 1 liter = 1000 milliliters.

Therefore, 1 gram of aminophylline in 1 liter of IV fluid is equivalent to 1000 mg of aminophylline in 1000 mL of IV fluid.

So, the concentration of aminophylline is 1000 mg/mL.
