I'm need help with the pharmacology

Published

I need help with the following problems:

The doctor orders Morphine Sulfate 8mg SQ for your terminal cancer patient. The vial on hand is a 20 ml with a concentration of 15mg/cc. How many cc's would you administer? To administer the correct dose, what size syringe would be most appropriate to use?

The doctor orders Keflin 500mgs. IM. The vial is 1 Gm. Keflin, to be reconstituted with 6cc sterile H20. How many cc's would be required for the doctor's order?

Thanks
