Questions: Calculate a single dose for this medication order.

Solution Steps

To calculate a single dose, we need to understand the concentration of the medication and the required dose. The concentration given is 500,000 units/mL.

Assuming the medication order specifies a certain number of units to be administered per dose, we need to know this number to proceed. For example, if the order is for 1,000,000 units per dose, we will use this information in our calculation.

To find the volume of the medication needed for a single dose, use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{\text{Required Dose (units)}}{\text{Concentration (units/mL)}} \]

Substituting the values:

\[ \text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{1,000,000 \, \text{units}}{500,000 \, \text{units/mL}} = 2 \, \text{mL} \]
