It may be necessary to mix a powdered form of medication with a diluent to administer it to the patient. What is the formula to determine the
powder value in proportion to the diluent?
A. Fv = DV + PV
B. Dv = PV + FV
C. FV = PV - DV
D. PV = Fv - DV
We will use the following equation: powder volume = final volume – diluent volume pv = fv – dv. Notice: that we can also use the following pv + dv = fv or dv ..
