The ordered dose =10units/kg

Available dose =250units /ml

Weight=143Ibs

First we want to find out patient body weight in kg,

So 1kg=2.2Ibs

143Ibs=143÷2.2=65kg

Then find out total required unit

1kg=10 units

65kg need 65×10=650units

Then find out the total amount of fluid using proportion method

250units/1ml=650units/xml

250x=650

x=650/250=2.6ml

So we should administer total 2.6ml of drugs which contain 650units of drug.
