To determine the number of ml the patient will receive for one dose, we need to know the concentration of the Thorazine solution.
Let's assume the concentration of the Thorazine solution is 10 mg/ml.
To find the number of ml, we can use the formula:
ml = mg / concentration
ml = 50 mg / 10 mg/ml
ml = 5 ml
Therefore, the patient will receive 5 ml for one dose of 50 mg Thorazine.
To calculate the number of mL needed for one dose of Thorazine, we need to know the concentration of Thorazine solution. Assuming the Thorazine solution has a concentration of 50 mg/mL, we can proceed with the calculation.
The dose required is 50 mg, and the concentration is 50 mg/mL.
To find the volume (mL) needed, we can set up a proportion:
50 mg / x mL = 50 mg / 1 mL
Cross-multiplying, we get:
50 mg * 1 mL = 50 mg * x mL
Simplifying, we have:
50 mL = 50 mg * x
Divide both sides by 50 mg to solve for x:
50 mL / 50 mg = x
x = 1 mL
Therefore, the patient will receive 1 mL for one dose of Thorazine.
