To determine the number of milliliters (ml) of "X" drug you will give, you need to calculate the volume based on the ordered dose and the concentration of the drug.
Given:
Ordered dose = 80 mg
Drug concentration = 40 mg/2 ml
To find out the ml of "X" drug, you can use the following equation:
Volume (ml) = (Ordered dose / Drug concentration)
Volume (ml) = (80 mg / 40 mg/2 ml)
Volume (ml) = (80 mg) * (2 ml / 40 mg)
Volume (ml) = 160 ml / 40
Volume (ml) = 4 ml
Therefore, you will give 4 ml of "X" drug.
The physician ordered a bolus of "X" drug 80mg IV push start.the available Vail are labeled "X" 40mg/2ml. How many ml of x will you give?
