To calculate the required volume (in mL) of the medication to receive the prescribed dose, you can use the following formula:
Volume (mL) = Prescribed Dose (mg)/Concentration (mg/mL)
In this case, the prescribed dose is 500 mg, and the concentration of the liquid medication is 250 mg/5 mL (which can be simplified to 50 mg/mL). Plugging these values into the formula:
Volume (mL)= 500 mg/(250/5) mg/mL = 10 mL
