To determine how many milliliters should be administered to the patient, we first need to understand the dosage required and the concentration of the medication.
The patient requires a dosage of 10mg. The concentration of the medication is given as 100mg/ml. This means that in every milliliter of the solution, there are 100mg of the medication.
Now, we can use the formula:
Volume (ml) = Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/ml)
Substituting the values we have:
Volume (ml) = 10mg / 100mg/ml
When we calculate this:
Volume (ml) = 0.1ml
This means the patient should receive 0.1ml of the medication. It’s important to ensure accurate measurement and to double-check the medication and concentration to avoid any errors in administration.
