Question
Assuming that the dry powder does not contribute to the final volume, how many milliliters of the reconstituted solution must be used to obtain the $3,000,000 \mathrm{IU}$ of long-acting penicillin from an original concentration of $12,000,000 / 4 \mathrm{~mL}$ ?
Step 1
Given that the original concentration is $12,000,000 / 4 \mathrm{~mL}$, we can calculate the concentration as $12,000,000 \mathrm{IU} / 4 \mathrm{~mL} = 3,000,000 \mathrm{IU/mL}$. Show more…

A pharmacist receives a medication order for 300,000 units of penicillin G potassium to be added to 500 mL of DSW. The directions on the 100,000-unit vial state that if 1.6 mL of solvent is added, the solution will measure 2 mL. How many milliliters of the solution must be withdrawn and added to the DSW?
The drug vial contains 1,000,000 units of penicillin G. The label directions state: Add 2.3 ml of sterile water to the vial and 0.6 ml = 250,000 units. How many milliliters equal 600,000 units? 0.01 ml 1.4 ml 14.4 ml .14 ml 144 ml
A 5,000,000 units penicillin G potassium vial requires 23 mL of diluent be added to the dry powder to result in a 200,000 units/mL concentration. How much diluent must be added to make a final concentration of 500,000 units/mL?
