A patient is prescribed 45mg of a liquid medication. It is available as
9mg/1ml. How many mls will you administer?

To determine how many milliliters (ml) of the liquid medication to administer, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Amount to administer (ml)} = \frac{\text{Prescribed dose (mg)}}{\text{Concentration (mg/ml)}}
\]

Substitute the given values:

\[
\text{Amount to administer (ml)} = \frac{45 \, \text{mg}}{9 \, \text{mg/ml}} = 5 \, \text{ml}
\]

So, you will administer **5 ml** of the medication.

3. How can you calculate the total amount of medication in a 50 ml bottle with 9 mg/ml concentration?
4. What would happen if you accidentally administered 6 ml instead of 5 ml?
5. How do you convert this dosage if the medication is available in solid form?

**Tip:** Always double-check the concentration and dose before administering liquid medications to avoid errors.
