Question

a patient is to receive atropine gr \frac{1}{1000} im. the atropine label reads 0.40 mg/ml. the patient will receive

the patient will receive \square ml of atropine.
(type an integer or a decimal.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert grains to milligrams

We know that \(1\) grain (\(gr\)) \( = 60\) mg. So, if the dose is \(gr\frac{1}{1000}\), then the dose in mg is \(d=\frac{1}{1000}\times60 = 0.06\) mg.

Step2: Calculate the volume

The formula for volume \(V=\frac{\text{Dose (mg)}}{\text{Concentration (mg/mL)}}\). Given concentration \(C = 0.40\) mg/mL and dose \(d=0.06\) mg. Then \(V=\frac{0.06}{0.40}=0.15\) mL.

Answer:

\(0.15\)
