Question

medication ordered / medication available
ordered dose: 60 mg
available dose: 15 mg tablets
ordered dose: 45 mg
available dose: 50 mg/2ml
ordered dose: 60 mg
available dose: 400mg/3ml
ordered dose: 0.15 mg
available dose: 0.3 mg tablets
ordered dose: 50 mg
available dose: 25 mg/4ml
ordered dose: 120mg
available dose: 60mg/15ml

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate tablets for 60mg ordered dose

Use formula: Number of tablets = Ordered dose / Available dose per tablet.
Number of tablets = \( \frac{60}{15}=4\)

Step2: Calculate mL for 45mg ordered dose

First find mg per mL: \( \frac{50}{2} = 25\)mg/mL. Then use formula: Volume (mL)=Ordered dose / (mg per mL).
Volume (mL)=\( \frac{45}{25}=1.8\)

Step3: Calculate mL for 60mg ordered dose

Find mg per mL: \( \frac{400}{3}\approx133.33\)mg/mL. Volume (mL)=\( \frac{60}{\frac{400}{3}}=\frac{60\times3}{400}=0.45\)

Step4: Calculate tablets for 0.15mg ordered dose

Number of tablets=\( \frac{0.15}{0.3}=0.5\)

Step5: Calculate mL for 50mg ordered dose

Find mg per mL: \( \frac{25}{4} = 6.25\)mg/mL. Volume (mL)=\( \frac{50}{6.25}=8\)

Step6: Calculate mL for 120mg ordered dose

Find mg per mL: \( \frac{60}{15}=4\)mg/mL. Volume (mL)=\( \frac{120}{4}=30\)

Answer:

4 tablets, 1.8 mL, 0.45 mL, 0.5 tablet, 8 mL, 30 mL
