Explanation / Answer
20. We have to prepare 2 syringes such that each syringe has 35mg of Lovenox. The label says that there are 100mg of Lovenox per 1 ml of the solution (The part which says 100mg/ml). So, 1mg of Lovenox is contained in 1/100 ml of the solution. We need 35mg in each vial. Thus, each vial would be 35 * (1/100) ml = 0.35 ml. So, each vial would be 0.35 milliliters.
21. A patient is to receive 0.42 mL of Lantus daily. From the label, we can see there are 100 units in 1mL. So, 0.42 mL will have 0.42 X 100 units which is equal to 42 units. So, 0.42 mL is 42 units.
22. A patient uses 18 units of insulin 2 times daily. Each vial has 10ml. The concentration is 100 units per ml. So, each vial has 10 * 100 units, which is 1000 units. Let's assume that the patient uses the 1st vial during the 1st injection during the day, and the second vial during the 2nd injection during the day. Since the patient needs 18 units daily, 1000 units will last 1000/18 days = 55 days (After rounding down from 55.55)
