Question

Please convert the above drug calculation

Answer 1

Each 5 ml of the liquid antibiotic contains 250 mg of the medication.

To give 1g (1000 mg) of the medication, you would need to administer:

(1000 mg) / (250 mg/5 ml) = 20 ml

Therefore, you would need to give 20 ml of the liquid antibiotic to administer 1g of the medication.
