Amiodarone 650 mg is ordered direct IV injection stat. A multidose vial labeled Amiodarone 150 mL / 3 mL is available. How many mL will the nurse administer to the patient? _______ mL

Expert Solution

As given that multidose vial of Amiodarone conatins 150mg/3ml

then in 1 ml there will be 50 mg of Amiodarone

again if 50 mg of Amiodarone is supllied by 1 ml

then for 1 mg required ml=1/50 ml

thus for 650 mg of Amiodarone the required ml will be=(1/50)x650= 13 ml

Hence 13 ml of Amiodarone should be taken to fulfill the required order of 650mg by direct IV
