Question

a nurse must administer 200 micrograms of atropine sulfate. the drug is available in solution form. the concentration of the atropine sulfate solution is 200 micrograms per milliliter. how many milliliters should be​ given?

Answer 1

Answer: 1 milliliter

Explanation:

Given: The given number of micrograms atropine sulfate=200 micrograms

Also, the drug is available in solution form.

The concentration of the atsropine sulfate solution is 200 micrograms per milliliter.

It implies in 1 milliliter there are 200 micrograms of atropine sulfate

Therefor, we given 1 milliliter of solution.

Answer 2

x = 1 ml drug should given

Explanation:

Total amount of astropine sulphate is 200 mg

concentration of astropine sulphate in solution is 200 mg/ml

let the x ml be the total amount of drug that should given.

for 1 ml we have 200 mg concentration of astropine solution

and for 200 mg of total amount of drug we have ......?

from above data we have following relation

`(200)/(1) = (200)/(x)`

`200 = 200* x`

x = 1 ml
