Maths Question IV Infusion

Published

anyone know how to work this out

a patient is ordered morphine infusion of 50mg. if the morphine is available in ampoule of 10mg/ml,

how many ampoules of morphine will be required to prepare the 50mg infusion? i worked this out and i am pretty sure its correct? i got 50 divided by 10 equals 5 ampoules

but the next one stumped me ( connected to the first question).

how many ml of 0.9% normal saline wll be required to dilute the morphine to 1mg/ml

its probably obvious but i have no clue:zzzzz

help?
