Ask for help from a skilled doctor.

Because you don't know the correct dose, you want to heal the patient.

If you accidentally give the wrong medicine, the patient might die or worsen the effect of what the patient needs to be prescribed for.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

1. Look up the meanings of the unknown abbreviations

You would be an incompetent technician if you didn't have some reference books at hand.

Suppose the prescription order said, "ampicillin susp. 400 mg p.o. q.6.h."

You would translate this as "ampicillin suspension 400 mg by mouth every six hours."

The label on your bottle of ampicillin reads, "When prepared as directed each 5 mL teaspoonful contains ampicillin trihydrate equivalent to 250 mg ampicillin ."

You must convert 400 mg to teaspoonfuls.

2. Write a conversion factor to convert milligrams to teaspoonful s

The label says

1 tsp = 250 mg  

The desired units must be in the numerator, so the conversion factor is

$\dfrac{\text{1 tsp}}{\text{250 mg}}$

3. Do the calculation

$\text{Dosage} = \text{500 mg} \times \dfrac{\text{1 tsp}}{\text{250 mg}} = \text{2 tsp}$

Your directions to the patient would be, "Take two teaspoonfuls every six hours."
