Question 1
You have just administered an injection of 0.02 mL of acepromazine (10 mg/mL). How
many mg did you give?
CORRECT ANSWER
Answer: 0.2 mg
0.2 mL × 10 mg = 0.2 mg
Question 2
5 grams is equal to how many milligrams?
CORRECT ANSWER
Answer: 5,000 mg
1 gram is equal to 1,000 mg.
To calculate this, you multiply 5 by 1,000.
5 grams = 5,000 mg.
Question 3
You have a 4-week-old, 15-pound german shepherd puppy presenting hypoglycemic. The
doctor has ordered a 500mg/kg Dextrose bolus over 5 minutes. The dextrose is a
50% solution. How many milliliters of Dextrose will you be administering?
1
@THE STUDY VAULT
,CORRECT ANSWER
Answer: 6.8 mL
First, convert the weight from pounds to kgs:
15 pounds/2.2 pounds per kg = 6.8 kg
Next, let look at the concentration of the Dextrose, which is 50%:
The solution's mass by volume percent concentration tells you the number of grams of
solute present for every 100 mL of the solution.
Dextrose concentration is 50% meaning you get 50g per 100mL. Let's take this a step further:
500g/100mL=0.5g/mL
Now, let's get to milligrams to be able to calculate for the ordered dose:
0.5g/mL x 1000mg/g = 500 mg/mL
If the order is 500mg/kg, and our German Shepherd weighs 6.8kg, then:
500mg per kg OR 500mg × 6.8kg = 3400mg
To achieve mL/hr, we must divide by our calculated concentration:
3400m/ Dextrose concentration of 500mg/mL =
6.8mL
Question 4
A 60-lb patient is to go home on Clavamox after his dental cleaning. The dose is 14 mg/kg.
What size tablet should
2
@THE STUDY VAULT
,the patient be sent home with?
CORRECT ANSWER
Answer: 375 mg
(After converting the body weight to kilograms the dose needs to be multiplied by the body
weight.
60 lb / (2.2 1b/kg) = 27 kg (Notice the pounds cancel out)
27 kg x14=378 mg)
Question 5
What quantity of drug is found in 200 mL of a 10% solution?
CORRECT ANSWER
Answer: 20 grams
A 10% solution is equal to 100 mg/mL. The easiest way to remember this conversion is to
add a zero to the
percentage. (10%= 100 mg/mL, 15% = 150 mg/mL, etc.)
If 1 mL is equal to 100 mg, then to find out the quantity of drug in 200 mLs, multiply 100 mg
X200 =
20,000 mg. There are 20,000 mg in 200 mLs of a 10% solution.
But none of the choices are 20,000 mg. We need to go one step further and determine how
many grams
this is.

@THE STUDY VAULT
, 1 gram is equal to 1,000 mg. We need to divide the milligrams by 1,000.
So, 20,000mg / 1,000 = 20 grams.
Question 6
You are admitting a patient to the hospital for overnight post-surgery monitoring. LaCroix
is a 4-year-old 18kg spayed saluki that requires Lactated Ringer's solution. The fluid pumps
were accidentally locked up and are inaccessible, so you must calculate a drip rate for the
fluids. You must deliver 1200mL over 10 hours. Your drip set delivers 10 drops/mL.
What is the drip rate per minute?
CORRECT ANSWER
Answer: 20 drops/min
The first step is recognizing how many mL/hr we need.
We will take 1200mL/10 hours = 120mL/hr
Then, we can take our 120mL/hr and multiply by our drip set delivery rate.
120mL/hr x 10 drops/mL = 1200 drops/hr
Now, to achieve our drip rate per minute, we shall divide by 60 (there are 60 minutes in an
hour).
1200 drops/hr divided by 60 minutes = 20 drops per min
