1. Bacitracin:
- Available concentration: \frac{50,000 \, \text{units}}{10 \, \text{mL}}
- Desired dose: 15,000 \, \text{units}
- Calculate volume:
\frac{15,000 \, \text{units}}{50,000 \, \text{units}} \times 10 \, \text{mL} = 3 \, \text{mL}
2. Gentamicin:
- Available concentration: \frac{80 \, \text{mg}}{2 \, \text{mL}}
- Desired dose: 200 \, \text{mg}
- Calculate volume:
\frac{200 \, \text{mg}}{80 \, \text{mg}} \times 2 \, \text{mL} = 5 \, \text{mL}
Answer:
\text{Bacitracin: 3 mL}
\text{Gentamicin: 5 mL}
- Available concentration:
- Desired dose:
- Calculate volume:
2. Gentamicin:
