9. Dr orders Glynase 50mg. On hand you have 100mg/0.5mL.

The correct answer is - 0.25

Explanation:

Calculation of administration right of the dose is very important as higher or low dose can be harmful or lethal as well. If the dose is solution-based then it becomes more complex.

strength of solution: 100mg/0.5ml

So, available dose = 100 mg

Volume would be = 0.5 ml

The dose required 50 mg

Then from "nursing formula":

dose to administration = dose required * volume of solution/dose available

= 50*0.5/100

=0.25ml
