Calculate the amount to administer: ________.Ordered: Acetylcysteine 400 mg q4h inhalationOn hand: Acetylcysteine 20% solution
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
4 mL
H = 20 g; Q = 100 mL; O = 800 mg
Convert units:
1 g × 800 = 1,000 × D
D = 0.8 g
Calculate the amount to administer:
A = 0.04 × 100 mL
A = 4 mL
The dose on hand is 25 times the ordered dose and 25 × 4 = 100 mL, so it is reasonable.
