27 lip 2024 · Use this tool to perform mg-to-cc conversions (or vice-versa) for medications or other substances.
To convert milligrams (mg) to cubic centimeters (cc), use the conversion formula: Volume (cc) = Mass (mg) / Density (mg/cc) The conversion depends on the density of the substance you are measuring, as density relates mass to volume.
To calculate the dose in milliliters, use the following formula; dose (mg ) ÷ concentration (mg /mL) = dose (mL) Example: the patient needs a dose of 451 mg and the drug concentration is 100 mg /mL
How to Convert between Units. You will come across situations where you need to convert a measurement from one unit to another, for example, from micrograms to milligrams or from litres to millilitres. You will need to do this if quantities given in a calculation are not in the same units.
Objective: Students will be able to use proportions and formulas to convert measurements and solve multi-step problems to calculate dosage based on body weight. Materials included:
OBJECTIVES. Identify the basic units of measure for weight, length, and volume. Accurately convert milliliters to cubic centimeters, kilograms to pounds, and milligrams to grams (and micrograms).
Step 1: Since the desired dose is in grams, but the capsules available on hand are in milligrams, convert 1.5 grams (g for short) into mg. Step 2: Use the formula to calculate the number of capsules that should be given. x = 3 capsules. Therefore, 3 capsules of Ampicillin should be given to the patient. Practice Questions.
