Doing my P2 homework has unearthed a weakness in my drug calculation prowess.
The question: If you have a 4% solution of medication how many mls do you add to 500cc if you want a final concentration of 4mg/ ml
here's my rationale: 1% solution = 1 gram / 100 cc
to arrive at a final concentration of 4 mg/ml i need a total of 2000mg over the 500 ml.
typing it out it seems pretty simple that the answer is 50cc, right?!
