Question

An order is given to administer 57 g of lactulose syrup, often used for treating complications of liver disease. The suspension contains 10. G/15 mL. What dose in milliliters should be given to the patient? mL

Answer 1

Answer : The volume given to the patient should be, 85.5 mL

Explanation :

As we are given that the suspension contains 10g/15mL.

Now we have to determine the volume should be given to the patient.

As, 10 grams of lactulose syrup needed 15 mL volume of solution

So, 57 grams of lactulose syrup needed $\frac{57g}{10g}\times 15mL=85.5mL$ volume of solution

Thus, the volume given to the patient should be, 85.5 mL
