Calculating Medication per Dose and Bottle Duration
For Medicine A, the physician prescribed 250 mg four times a day. The suspension contains 125 mg per 5 mL. Let’s calculate the medication per dose and how many days the 200 mL bottle will last.
Medication per Dose = (Prescribed Dose / Medication Concentration) = (250 mg / 125 mg/5 mL) = 10 mL
Bottle Duration = (Bottle Volume / Medication per Dose) = (200 mL / 10 mL) = 20 days
Answer: 10 mL, 20 days
Duration for Two Children Using Medicine E
Medicine E is taken at 5 mL, orally twice a day. Since there are two children, the total daily dose would be 5 mL + 5 mL = 10 mL.
Duration = (Bottle Volume / Total Daily Dose) = (200 mL / 10 mL) = 20 days
Answer: 20 days
Calculating Available Doses of Children’s Tylenol:
Given that you’re administering 2 ½ teaspoons (approximately 12.5 mL) to 6 campers, every 4 hours. Let’s calculate how many complete doses can be administered from a 4 fluid ounce (approximately 118 mL) bottle.
Medication per Dose = 12.5 mL * 6 = 75 mL (total dose for 6 campers)
Doses per Bottle = (Bottle Volume / Medication per Dose) = (118 mL / 75 mL) ≈ 1.57 doses
Answer: Approximately 1 full dose
4. Doses Available in a Pepto-Bismol Bottle:
The standard dosage of Pepto-Bismol is 1 tablespoon, which is approximately 15 mL. Let’s calculate how many doses are available in a 120 mL bottle.
Doses per Bottle = (Bottle Volume / Medication per Dose) = (120 mL / 15 mL) = 8 doses
Answer: 8 full doses
