You need to give a slow iv injection of salbutamol 125 micrograms. salbutamol injection comes in 2 ml ampoules of 25 micrograms/ml. how many ml do you want? choose the correct option and select save answer. possible answers:

a.5 ml
b.10 ml
c.2 ml
d.1 ml

Answer 1

To give a slow IV injection of salbutamol 125 micrograms using salbutamol injection in 2 ml ampoules of 25 micrograms/ml, you would need 5 ml of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of milliliters (ml) of salbutamol solution needed, we can use the equation:

125 micrograms = X ml * 25 micrograms/ml

By rearranging the equation, we can solve for X:

X = 125 micrograms / 25 micrograms/ml = 5ml

Therefore, the correct answer is 5 ml (option a).

Answer 2

To administer a slow IV injection of 125 micrograms of salbutamol using a concentrated solution of 25 micrograms/ml, you would need 5 ml of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many milliliters of a salbutamol injection you would need to administer to deliver a dose of 125 micrograms when the injection comes in 2 ml ampoules of 25 micrograms/ml. To find the answer, you would use the following formula:

Total volume required = Desired dose / Concentration of solution

Plugging in the numbers:

Total volume required = 125 micrograms / 25 micrograms/ml = 5 ml

Therefore, the correct answer is 5 ml, which is option (a).
