Question

A nurse must administer 180 micrograms atropine sulfate. This drug is available in solution form. The concentration of the atropine sulfate solution is 500 micrograms per milliliter. How many milliliters should be given? Simplify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.36ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: micrograms = $10^{-6} g$

Given the concentration,

$500*10^{-6} g = 1ml\\1*10^{-6}g =\frac{1}{500} ml\\180*10^{-6} g=(\frac{1}{500} *180)ml\\180micrograms = 0.36ml$
