Answer:
How many milliliters should be given to the patient if 0.5 milliliter of liquid contain 50 milligrams of medication depends upon the dosage of that medicine prescribed by a doctor.
Explanation:
Miligrams to be given to the patient in a day depends upon the medicine. The dosage varies from medicine to medicine. Suppose if we talk about Diclofenac. In case of diclofenac the maximum dosage that can be given in a day is 75 miligrams.
Now if 0.5 mililitre contains 50 miligrams than 1 mililitre will contain 100 miligarm. 0.25 mililitre will contain 25 miligrams.
0.5mililitre+0.5 mililitre= 100 miligram
0.5mililitre+.25 mililitre= 50+25
⇒ 75 miligrams
so 0.75 mililitre will be given
