Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale 1: Using the equation 1000 mL x 60 g/100 mL= 600 grams. Then divide 600 grams/25 grams = 24. The nurse would use 24 tables to prepare the desired solution.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale 1: Using dimensional analysis, the amount of solute is 9 grams and the strength is 45. In a 45 solution there are 45 grams of gentamycin in 100 mL of solution. The equation should be set up as 9 grams x 100 mL/45 grams = 20 mL.
