If a nurse needs to administer 150 mg of a medication and has a supply of 50 mg/2 mL, how
many milliliters should be given?
To calculate the volume needed:
✔✔Volume = Desired dose / Concentration
Volume = 150 mg / (50 mg/2 mL)
Volume = 150 mg / 25 mg/mL
Volume = 6 mL
If a doctor orders 500 mg of a medication and you have a concentration of 250 mg/10 mL, how
much volume should be given?
To calculate the volume needed:
✔✔Volume = Desired dose / Concentration
Volume = 500 mg / (250 mg/10 mL)
Volume = 500 mg / 25 mg/mL
Volume = 20 mL

,If you need to administer 200 mg of a medication and have a stock solution of 100 mg/2 mL,
how many milliliters should be given?
To calculate the volume needed:
✔✔Volume = Desired dose / Concentration
Volume = 200 mg / (100 mg/2 mL)
Volume = 200 mg / 50 mg/mL
Volume = 4 mL
If a doctor prescribes 100 mg of a medication and the concentration is 25 mg/1 mL, how much
volume should be given?
To calculate the volume needed:
✔✔Volume = Desired dose / Concentration
Volume = 100 mg / (25 mg/1 mL)
Volume = 100 mg / 25 mg/mL
Volume = 4 mL
If a prescription calls for 600 mg of a medication and the concentration is 300 mg/5 mL, how
many milliliters should be administered?
2
, To calculate the volume needed:
✔✔Volume = Desired dose / Concentration
Volume = 600 mg / (300 mg/5 mL)
Volume = 600 mg / 60 mg/mL
Volume = 10 mL
If a nurse is instructed to give 50 mg of a drug and has a concentration of 25 mg/5 mL, how
much volume should be administered?
To calculate the volume needed:
✔✔Volume = Desired dose / Concentration
Volume = 50 mg / (25 mg/5 mL)
Volume = 50 mg / 5 mg/mL
Volume = 10 mL
If a doctor orders 800 mg of a medication and the available solution is 400 mg/10 mL, how many
milliliters should be given?
To calculate the volume needed:
✔✔Volume = Desired dose / Concentration
