Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 15 ml CONCEPT: Basic dosage calculation \(Dose ={D\,{(Desired\,dose)} \over{H\, (Amount\, on\,hand)}}\times V\, (volume)\,\)
CALCULATION:
D (desired dose) = 30 meq H (amount in hand/ available dose) = 40 meq V (volume)= 20 ml
\(Dose ={30 *20\over40 }\,\) Dose = 15 Hence, the correct answer is 15ml. |
