the dosage ordered is 0.2 gm. how many capsules will you administer? ( 500 capsules/ 100mg)
.2gm (500capsules/100mg)=.2(500/.1)= 1000 capsules
are you certain the capsules are not 100mg each?
yes it is 100mg capsules
To find out how many capsules will be administered for a dosage of 0.2 gm, we need to convert grams to milligrams since the capsule quantity is given in milligrams.
1 gram = 1000 milligrams
So, 0.2 grams is equal to 0.2 * 1000 = 200 milligrams.
Given that there are 500 capsules per 100 milligrams, we can calculate the number of capsules administered as follows:
Number of capsules = (Dosage in milligrams) / (Capsules per milligram)
= 200 / 100
= 2 capsules
Therefore, 2 capsules will be administered for the ordered dosage of 0.2 gm.
To calculate the number of capsules needed to administer a dosage of 0.2 gm, we need to convert the units to the same base unit.
Given: 500 capsules / 100 mg
First, convert the dosage from grams to milligrams:
0.2 gm = 0.2 gm * 1000 mg/gm = 200 mg
Now, we can calculate the number of capsules required:
Number of capsules = Dosage / Capsule strength
Number of capsules = 200 mg / 100 mg
Number of capsules = 2 capsules
Therefore, you will administer 2 capsules to deliver a dosage of 0.2 gm.
