Hi, Everyone. I have this example question-drug calculation. Could someone shed some light on it-the steps of working it out. You are required to give 300 micrograms. The ampoule contains 1: 5000 in 5mls. How much are you going to give? The answer I got was 0.3 ml. I first converted 300 micrograms to grams. 1: 5000 = 1gram in 1000mls so the answer is 5 grams. 300 divided by 1000 = 0.3 0.3 times 5 = 1.5 1.5 divided by 5=0.3 Is this correct-I need some guidence.

You are asked to give 20 grams iv. You have a bottle of 5%. What volume are you going to infuse? 5% = 5 grams per 100mls. Going infuse 400 mls. Is that right? Thanks for any help:Melody:

Hi, I was given this question as a practice example. I'm a wee bit rusty. Could someone help me with this one. You are required to give 300 micrograms. The ampoule contains 1:5000 solution in five mls. How much are you going to give?. Would someone kindly set this out step by step. A angel prehaps. I already know 1: 5000 is 1 gram in 5000 mls. Do I need to convert the 300 to grams?
