appropriately) Ordered: Magnesium sulfate 1 g IM now On hand:
Magnesium sulfate 50% solution

Answer 1

The amount to administer is 0.5 grams of Magnesium sulfate.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of Magnesium sulfate to administer, we can use the formula:

Amount = Concentration × Volume

In this case, we have:

Concentration of Magnesium sulfate solution = 50%

Volume = 1 g (since 1 g of Magnesium sulfate is ordered)

Let's plug in the values:

Amount = 50% × 1 g = 0.5 g

Therefore, the amount to administer is 0.5 grams of Magnesium sulfate.
