Answer 1

The volume in millilitres that would be administered is = 1 mL

Calculation of drug dosage

The prescribed dosage of the drug to be given through deep intramuscular route= 600,000 units

On hand dose of the drug available= 1,200,000 units per 2 milliliters.

Therefore to calculate the dose to be given in millilitres;

If 1,200,000 units = 2 milliliters

600,000 units = X millilitres

Make X millilitres the subject of formula,

X millilitres = 2 × 600,000/1,200,000

X millilitres= 1,200,000/1,200,000

X millilitres= 1 mL

Therefore, volume in millilitres that would be administered is = 1 mL
