mL
Explanation & Rationale
Rationale: Step by step calculation: Determine the dosage required: 160 mg Determine the concentration available: 400 mg/2 mL Simplify the concentration: 400 mg/2 mL=200 mg/mL Use the formula: Volume (mL)=Required dose (mg)/Concentration (mg/mL) Volume (mL)=160 mg/200 mg/mL Calculate the volume: Volume (mL)=0.8
