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).
2 mL
H = 20 g; Q = 100 mL; O = 400 mg
Convert units:
1 g × 400 = 1,000 × D
D = 0.4 g
Calculate the amount to administer:
A = 0.02 × 100 mL
A = 2 mL
The dose on hand is 50 times the ordered dose, and 50 × 2 = 100 mL, so the answer is reasonable.
