Question

Lanoxin/Digoxin 60 mcg is ordered. The bottle is labeled 50 mcg/ml. How many ml would you give? _____________________

Answer 1

To determine the amount of ml to give, we can use the following formula:

Amount of medication = (Ordered dose / Available dose) x Volume

Substituting the given values, we get:

Amount of medication = (60 mcg / 50 mcg/ml) x Volume

Simplifying this expression, we get:

Amount of medication = 1.2 ml

Therefore, you would need to give 1.2 ml of Lanoxin/Digoxin.
