Given:
Amount taken every 5 hours = 2 units
The drug contains 50 units/mL .
Let's determine the amount if mL per dose the nurse must give.
Since the patient receives 2 units every 5 hours and the supplied dosage is 50 units/mL, the amount of mL the nurse must prepare to give will be:
[tex]\frac{2\text{ units}}{50\text{ units/mL}}=0.04\text{ mL}[/tex]Therefore, the nurse should prepare to give 0.04 mL per dose.
ANSWER:
0.04 mL
