Question
A patient is prescribed 80 mg of Tramadol Hydrochloride injection. The stock dose is 50mg / 2 mL. What volume will you require?
Answers
GPT 3.5
To determine the volume required, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Let's assume that "x" mL of the stock dose will provide 80 mg of Tramadol Hydrochloride.
The proportion can be set up as:
50 mg / 2 mL = 80 mg / x mL
Cross-multiplying, we get:
50 mg * x mL = 2 mL * 80 mg
50x = 160
Dividing both sides by 50:
x = 160 / 50
x = 3.2 mL
Therefore, you will require a volume of 3.2 mL of the Tramadol Hydrochloride injection.
