The child weighs 77lbs which is converted by 1pound is equal to 0.454 so 77*0.454=34.65kg To calculate the volume be prescription for the patient * stock volume(ml) = volume(ml) stock strength available
prescription for the patient = 5mg * 34.65= 173.25 , stock available= 2ml , stock strength available = 50 mg
so the answer will be 173.25mg * 2ml
50 mg = 6.93 ml hence the ml will be aminister is 6.93ml for 50 mg.
The next answer method be like the same
Prescription of the patient * stockvolume
stock strength available = volume ( ml)
= 20mg * 5 ml
10 mg = 10 ml
hence the ml instruct the patient to take per dose = 10 ml
