If a patient must receive 700 mg of a medication with a concentration of 350 mg/5 mL, how many mL will be given?

To determine the number of mL needed to administer 700 mg of the medication with a concentration of 350 mg per 5 mL, we start by establishing how many mg are contained in 1 mL.

With a concentration of 350 mg in 5 mL, we can first find the concentration per mL by dividing 350 mg by 5 mL. This calculation reveals that the medication concentration is 70 mg/mL (350 mg ÷ 5 mL = 70 mg/mL).

Next, to find out how many mL are required to reach the desired dose of 700 mg, we use the concentration we've calculated. We divide the total dose needed (700 mg) by the concentration (70 mg/mL):

700 mg ÷ 70 mg/mL = 10 mL.

This indicates that to deliver a dose of 700 mg, 10 mL of this medication must be administered.

Thus, the answer of 10 mL reflects the correct calculation based on the concentration provided.
