Answer: The answer to the question is
19.6 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
Patient of weight = 180 pounds
converting to Kg;
= 180/2.2= 81.81 kg approximately
The ordered dose= 12 mg /kg
In mg, it will be;
= 12mg× 81.81 kg= 981.72mg
The available dose= 50mg
and
The available volume= 1 ml
The required dose = ( the ordered dose/ the available dose) × the available volume
Imputing the values given,we have;
=( 981.72mg/50mg)× 1ml
which is;
= 19.63 ml
and that is approximately 19.6ml to be administered.
