Is my answer and working out correct for this question?
A patient requires 0.08g of codeine for pain releif. If a tablet contains 20mg of codeine, then how many of the condeine tablets would be administered to the patient?
My answer:
1000mg = 1g
0.08g x 1000mg / 1g = 80mg
80 / 20 = 4
Answer = 4 tablets of codeine
Thank you.
80 mg = 0.08 grams
4 tablets x 20mg ea = 80 mg
Looks good :)
