Question

After receiving chemotherapy for lung cancer, Mr. Clark experiences severe nausea and vomiting. The licensed practitioner orders 5 mg Compazine IM. You have Compazine in a 10mL multidose vial that provides the drug as 5 mg/mL. How many mL of Compazine will you administer to Mr. Clark

Answer 1

1ml of Compazine will be administered to Mr. Clark to prevent the after

effect of the chemotherapy.

We were told that there is a multidose of 5 mg/mL and the practitioner

ordering 5 mg of Compazine . We calculate the mL to be used by doing the

following below:

We divide the multidose vial with the inverse of the order which is :

5 mg/mL × 1/5mg

= 1mL

Therefore the volume of Compazine to be administered to Mr. Clark is 1mL.
