Calculation Task 1


You are required to give a patient 1.2g of a new chemotherapy agent Co-Algonate. This comes as a 10% (w/v) solution in bags containing 500ml. What volume of the 500ml bag would you need to give?
​

​1% = 1g in 100ml
10% = 10g in 100ml
 
10g = 100ml
1.2g = 12ml
 
(The size of the bag in this case is irrelevant information)
