From a 5cc vial labeled 100mg per cc, a patient is given a dose?

of 0.025 grams. How many cc should be withdrawn to contain this dosage.
Answer:
If you plan to be a pharmacist/doctor/nurse...why are you not studying and asking others to answer your test questions for you?
It is
A) Cheating and
B) Unethical to plan to treat people when you don't know what you are doing.

100mg --- 1 cc , .025 gram = 25 mg.
25mg ---- ??(z)25 * 1cc = 100 * z
z= .25 cc , z = 1/4 cc.

To give 25 mg you'd need to give 1/4 ml and:
1: tell your teacher you aren't doing your own homework
2: also tell her to update the questions, as JCAHO recommends ml be used and cc deleted from all orders, etc. as an error-reduction method, and your vial will be 5 ml with a label of 100mg/ml.

Once again, I agree with WWD.
