Question

q2. a physician orders 15 g of a drug. only a vial of the drug with a dose strength of 10 g/5 ml is in stock. how many milliliters of the drug should be given to the patient?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the concentration of the drug

The concentration of the drug is \( \frac{10}{5}=2\) g/mL.

Step2: Find the volume of the drug

We know that \( \text{Volume}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Concentration}}\). Given the mass of the drug is \(15\) g and the concentration is \(2\) g/mL. So, \( \text{Volume}=\frac{15}{2}=7.5\) mL.

Answer:

\(7.5\) mL
