Question

a medication is available in a 200 mg/5 ml for a 150 ml bottle. a prescription calls for 600 mg bid. which of the following is the measurement (in ml) needed for a single dose? choose an answer 1 12 ml 2 10 ml 3 20 ml 4 15 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Find the concentration

The concentration is $\frac{200}{5}= 40$ mg/mL.

Step2: Calculate the volume for single - dose

Let the volume be $V$. We know that the dose is 600 mg and concentration $C = 40$ mg/mL. Using the formula $V=\frac{\text{Dose}}{\text{Concentration}}$, we have $V=\frac{600}{40}=15$ mL.

Answer:

1. 15 mL
