Prochlorperazine (Compazine) for injection is available in 10-mL multiple dose vials containing 5 mg/mL. How many 2-mg doses can be withdrawn from the vial?

Respuesta :

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of Prochlorperazine injection available = 10 mL

Dose per vial = 5 mg/mL

Now,

The total mass of dose present in 10 mL = Volume × Dose

or

The total mass of dose present in 10 mL = 10 × 5 = 50 mg

Thus,

The number of 2 mg dose that can be withdrawn = [tex]\frac{\textup{50 mg}}{\textup{2 mg}}[/tex]

or

The number of 2 mg dose that can be withdrawn = 25
