Expert Solution
Step 1
Administration of the right concentration of the drug to the patient is essential for obtaining desired therapeutic outcomes. Therefore calculations are important to determine the right concentration of the drug to be given. If the drug is administered at a higher concentration, the drug may cause side effects and if administered at a lower concentration, then the drug may not function effectively. Thus, the right concentration must be calculated using calculations.
