The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: 6.0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To calculate how many milliliters (mL) of ampicillin are needed for one dose, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Identify the prescribed dose<\/strong>: The order is for 150 mg of Ampicillin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Identify the concentration of the available solution<\/strong>: The available concentration is 125 mg per 5 mL. This means that 5 mL of the solution contains 125 mg of Ampicillin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Calculate the amount of solution required to obtain 150 mg of Ampicillin<\/strong>:\n
      \n
    • First, determine the concentration in mg\/mL. You have 125 mg in 5 mL, so the concentration is calculated as follows:Concentration\u00a0(mg\/mL)=125\u00a0mg5\u00a0mL=25\u00a0mg\/mL\\text{Concentration (mg\/mL)} = \\frac{125 \\text{ mg}}{5 \\text{ mL}} = 25 \\text{ mg\/mL}Concentration\u00a0(mg\/mL)=5\u00a0mL125\u00a0mg\u200b=25\u00a0mg\/mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Now, use this concentration to find out how many mL are needed to get 150 mg of Ampicillin. Set up a proportion where xxx is the volume in mL:Concentration=150\u00a0mgx\u00a0mL\\text{Concentration} = \\frac{150 \\text{ mg}}{x \\text{ mL}}Concentration=x\u00a0mL150\u00a0mg\u200b Since\u00a0Concentration=25\u00a0mg\/mL,\u00a0we\u00a0have:\\text{Since } \\text{Concentration} = 25 \\text{ mg\/mL}, \\text{ we have:}Since\u00a0Concentration=25\u00a0mg\/mL,\u00a0we\u00a0have: 25\u00a0mg\/mL=150\u00a0mgx\u00a0mL25 \\text{ mg\/mL} = \\frac{150 \\text{ mg}}{x \\text{ mL}}25\u00a0mg\/mL=x\u00a0mL150\u00a0mg\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Solve for xxx by rearranging the formula:x=150\u00a0mg25\u00a0mg\/mL=6\u00a0mLx = \\frac{150 \\text{ mg}}{25 \\text{ mg\/mL}} = 6 \\text{ mL}x=25\u00a0mg\/mL150\u00a0mg\u200b=6\u00a0mL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Round the answer to the nearest tenth<\/strong>: In this case, the calculation results in exactly 6.0 mL.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Verify the dose<\/strong>: Double-check that the concentration and volume calculations are consistent with the prescribed dose.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      By following these calculations, you ensure that you administer the correct volume of medication based on the concentration of the solution provided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
