What is the volume to be administered if the prescription is for 250mg of a certain medication and the available ampoule is 5ml with 500mg?
The first step is to understand what 500mg/5ml means. This expression means that for every 5ml, we find 500mg of the medication. The second step is to make a simple calculation, called rule of three. 2.5ml 3ml 4ml 5ml
Para calcular o volume a ser administrado, podemos usar a regra de três simples. Sabemos que 500mg correspondem a 5ml, então podemos descobrir quantos ml correspondem a 250mg:
500mg ------ 5ml
250mg ------ x
x = (250mg x 5ml) / 500mg
x = 2,5ml
Portanto, o volume a ser administrado é de 2,5ml.
