bonus quiz # 5 Q. # 9 how to set up???
Set up a 2 step proportion, first step is to find out how many mL the patient uses per day:
1250 mg = 250 mg x 5 mL 250x=6250 x=25mL
The patient uses 25mL per day, now you must find out the amount in 30 days:
25mL = x 1 day 30days x= 750mL
The answer is 750mL.

TOTAL DRUG PATIENT IS TAKING IN A DAY;500mg+750mg=1250mg available valproic acid syr=250mg/5cc (5cc=5ml) if 5ml contains 250mg of drug, then ?ml will contain 1250mg of drug. cal; 1250mg*5ml/250mg=25ml
patient is taking 25ml of valproic acid solution a day 30 days supply=30*25ml=750ml ans=750ml
