Administering midazolam 0.07 mg/kg IM & patient weighs 50 kg.
Available 5 mg/mL. How many mL needed?
0.7 mL
Patient needs 0.07mg per kg & is 50kg
0.07mg*50kg = 3.5mg
1mL = 5mg SO 3.5mg/5mg = 0.7 mL
What's the patient's weight in kg if they weigh 128 lb? (round to
nearest tenth)
58.2 kg
FYI lb/2.2 = x kg
SO 128lb/2.2 = 58.1818
, Administering cefazolin 1 g IM. Reconstitutes 1 g vial or cefazolin to
yield concentration 330 mg/mL. How many mL needed? (nearest
whole number)
3 mL
Patient needs 1g for the
injection 1mL = 330mg & FYI 1g=
1000mg SO
1000mg/330mg = 3.03mL
Administering haloperidol lactate 3 mg IM. Available 5 mg/mL.
How many mL needed?
0.6 mL
Patient needs 3mg & 1mL = 5mg so 3mg/5mg = 0.6mL
Administering eszopiclone 2000 mcg PO. How many [mg] needed?
2 mg
Patient needs 2000mcg converted to
mg FYI 1mg = 1000mcg SO 2mg =
2000mcg
Administer codeine 20 mg PO every 6hrs PRN. Available codeine 10
mg/5mL. How many mL needed?
10 mL
Patient needs 20mg & 5mL = 10mg SO 10mL = 20mg
