GUIDE
1. The order is to give 60 mg of Garamycin (gentamicin) IM every 8hr. The vial is
labeled 80 mg/ 2 mL. How many mL will you give?
? mL = 2mL/80 mg X 60 mg/(1) = 12/8 = 1.5 mL
2. The patient is to receive 65 Units of a drug. The vial is labeled 50 Units per 2 mL.
How many mL will you give?
? mL = 2 mL/50 units X 65 units/(1) = 130/50 = 2.6 mL
3.The patient is to receive 0.6 g of a drug. How many mg will you give?
? mg = 1000 mg/1 g X 0.6 g/(1) = 600/1 = 600 mg
4.The patient received 400 mL of fluid. How many L did she receive?
? L = 1 L/1000 mL X 400 mL/(fluid) = 4/10 = 0.4 L
5..The patient weighs 160 pounds. How many Kg does he weigh?
? kg = 1 kg/2.2 lbs X 160 lbs/(patient) = 160/2.2 = 72.7 kg
6.The patient is to receive 50 mg of a drug. How many g will you give?
? g = 1 g/1000 mg X 50 mg/(drug) = 5/100 = 0.05 g
7.The physician has ordered 300 mg of a drug. The vial is labeled 150 mg / 2 mL.
How many mL will you give?
? mL = 2 mL/150 mg X 300 mg/(some drug) = 60/15 = 4 mL
8. If the patient receives 45 mL of a drug, How many ounces does he
receive?
? ozs = 1 oz/30 mL X 45 mL/(drug) = 45/30 = 1.5 oz
9. You have an order to give 120 Units of Vitamin D. If the vitamin comes in
capsules containing 60 Units, how many capsules will you give?
? caps = 1 cap/60 units X 120 units/(Vit.D) = 12/6= 2 capsules
10. The patient is to receive 450 mg of an antibiotic. The vial contains a powder to be
reconstituted. The label of the vial reads: Kefzol (cefazolin) 1 g. To reconstitute:
Add 2.5 mL sterile water for injection to provide a volume of 3mL. How many
mL of solution are needed to provide the patient with the prescribed
dose?
? mL = 3 mL/1 g X 1 g/1000 mg X 450 mg/(some ABX) = 135/100 = 1.4 mL
11. You have an order of 5 mg / kg dose of medication for a patient weighing 22
pounds. How many mg will you give?
? mg = 5 mg/kg X 1 kg/2.2 lbs X 22 lbs/(patient)
