No. The question is how many ml instead of how many units. Thus, 600,000 units is extra useless information for this question.

By the way, another doctor agree with me for the answer. See that on the answer above.

Hi Customer (name blocked for privacy).

This question is more complicated.

a) 1 tsp = 1 teaspoonful = 5 ml

2 tsp = 10 ml = 10 ml x 2 mg/ 5 ml = 4 mg

Thus,

The answer is 4 mg proventil per dose ( 2tsp).

b) 1 pound = 0.45 kg

41 pounds = 0.45 x 41 = 18.6 kg

a safe starting dose is 0.1mg/kg

For the child, the safe dose is 18.6 kg x 0.1 mg/ kg = 1.86 mg

From the answer of question a, we know the child gets 4 mg tid (3 times a day), which is higher than 1.86 mg 3 times a day. Thus the answer is that the prescribed dosage is not safe.

a)

50,000 units in 500 ml, thus 1200 units is in: 1200 units x 500 ml / 50000 units = 12 ml

1200 units in 12 ml is infused per hour, thus, the answer is:

12 ml per hours should be set on the infusion pump.

b)

12 ml = 12 ml x 60 drops / ml = 720 drops

1 hour = 60 minutes.

Thus,

12 ml / hour = 720 drops / 60 minutes = 12 drop / minute

The answer is 12 drops per minute should be administered.
