Question

Doctor's order is Epinephrine 0.5 mg SC now. Supply is Epinephrine 1:1000 solution. Calculate the volume per dose to be administered using a TB syringe.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5 ml

Explanation:

we have given the ratio 1:1000 that is i gram in 1000 ml

1 gram =1000 mg ( as we know that )

$volume\ per\ dose\ to\ be\ administered=\frac{desired\ amount}{amount\ in\ hand}\times quantity$

so using this formula

$volume\ per\ dose\ to\ be\ administreted=\frac{0.5}{1000}\times 1000 = 0.5 ml$

so the the volume per dose to be administered using a TB syringe=0.5 ml
