Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Your patient has been prescribed $\var{a}$ mg of a drug as an injection. The stock strength given is $\var{b}$ mg in $1$ ml. How many ml do you give to the patient? Give your answer to 3 decimal places where necessary.

Unnamed gap ml

Advice

Solution

In order to calculate the amount of drug in ml, you need to use the following formula:

$\dfrac{\text{Prescribed dose}}{\text{Stock Strength}}$ $\times$ Stock dose.

In this question: Prescribed dose is $\var{a}$ mg, Stock Strength is $\var{b}$ mg and Stock dose is 1ml.

Using the formula: $\dfrac{\var{a}}{\var{b}}$ $\times$ $1$ = $\var{c}$ ml.

Alternative Solution

You are told that the stock strength of the drug is $\var{b}$ mg in $1$ ml.

So for every $\var{b}$ mg of the drug we need, we need to give the patient $1$ ml.

This means $\var{b}$ mg = 1ml.

We need $\var{a}$ mg.

In order to get $\var{a}$ mg, we divde $\var{b}$ mg by $\var{d}$ .

Because $\var{b}$ mg = $1$ ml and we have divided $\var{b}$ mg by $\var{d}$ to get $\var{a}$ mg, we must divide the right hand side of the equals sign by $\var{d}$ also.

So, we have $\dfrac{\var{b}}{\var{d}}$ = $\dfrac{1}{\var{d}}$ .

$\var{a}$ = $\var{c}$ ml.

Therefore we must need to give the patient $\var{c}$ ml.
