Question

A patient needs a total dose of 50 grams of albumin. The pharmacy has 50 m

Answer 1

Answer : The number of bottles should the pharmacy  technician prepare to provide the required dose are 4 bottles.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that a patient needs a total dose of 50 grams of albumin and the pharmacy has 50 mL bottles of 25% Albumin in stock.

Now we have to determine the number of bottles should the pharmacy  technician prepare to provide the required dose.

As,

The pharmacy  has stock albumin = $50mL\times \frac{25}{100}$

The pharmacy  has stock albumin = 12.5 mL

So,

Number of bottles should the pharmacy  technician prepare to provide the required dose = $\frac{50}{12.5}$

Number of bottles should the pharmacy  technician prepare to provide the required dose = 4

Therefore, the number of bottles should the pharmacy  technician prepare to provide the required dose are 4 bottles.
