1.5
The healthcare provider Calculate the needed dose,
orders 75 mg of using the formula: D/H × Q =X
meperidine IV. Give __ mL 75 mg/50 mg × 1 mL=X
X= 1.5 mL
(to the nearest tenth).
2.5
The healthcare provider Calculate the needed dose,
orders 25 mg of sildendafil using the formula:DH × Q =X
by mouth. Give __ mL (to 25 mg/10 mg × 1 mL=X
X= 2.5 mL
the nearest tenth).
0.25
The healthcare provider Calculate the
orders 20 mg of Depo- needed dose: DH
Medrol by intramuscular × Q =X
injection. Give __ mL (to 20 mg/80 mg × 1
the nearest hundredth). mL =X X= 0.25
mL
7.5
Calculate the needed dose
A healthcare provider using the ratio and proportion
orders 375 mg of formula:
amoxicillin clavulanate by Known
mouth. Give __ mL. Desired H
: V =D : X
250 mg : 5 mL = 375
mg :X mL X= 7.5 mL
0.5
1. Use the dimensional analysis formula.
X = V (vehicle)/H (on hand) × C(H)/C(D) × D/1
A physician orders 125 mcg 2. Plug in the known values and calculate. Include a
of a conversion factor to convert micrograms to milligrams
medication by mouth. (1,000 mcg = 1 mg).
Available are 0.25 mg
tablets. Give __ tablet/s X= 1 tablet/0.25 mg× 1 mg/1,000
(to the
1/5
, 4/1/25, 11:25 AM
nearest tenth). mcg × 125 mcg/1 X= 125
