Question

Ordered: Ticar 0.5 g. Available: Ticar 1g. Directions: Add 2 mL

sterile water for injection or 1% lidocaine HCI (without
epinephrine). each 2.6 mL equals 1000 mg of Ticar. How many mL will
you give?

Answer 1

To convert the dosage from grams to milliliters, we can use a proportion and the given conversion factor: 2.6 mL equals 1000 mg of Ticar. The number of milliliters to give is 2.6 mL of Ticar.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of mL to give, we need to convert the dosage from grams to mL using the given conversion factor. Each 2.6 mL of Ticar equals 1000 mg. Since the available Ticar is 1g, we can set up a proportion:

(1g / X mL) = (1000 mg / 2.6 mL)

Cross-multiplying and solving for X, we find:

X = (1g * 2.6 mL) / (1000 mg)

X = 2.6 mL / 1

X = 2.6 mL

Therefore, you would need to give 2.6 mL of Ticar.
