Answer:
The 2.5% thiopental need to draw up is B. 1.08mL.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to know how much thiopental needs the cat, for this we have multiply the concentration (12 mg/kg) by the weight of the cat in kg, this is:
[tex]5lb*\frac{0.454kg}{1lb} =2.27kg[/tex]
Now we can calculate how much thiopental the cat needs for its weight:
[tex]\frac{12mg}{kg} *2.27kg=27.24mg[/tex]
Having this and the concentration of the medicament we can calculate the volume that it is needed to be supplied to the cat:
[tex]2.5perc=\frac{2.5g}{100mL}=\frac{2,500mg}{100mL}[/tex]
[tex]27.24/\frac{2,500mg}{100mL}=1.0896mL[/tex]
The 2.5% thiopental need to draw up is B. 1.08mL.
