use critical thinking to answer the following.

1. 1.9 - 0.08 =
2. your patient is to receive a dosage of 7.5 mg and you have only 1 tab labeled 3.75 mg. how many more milligrams must you give?
3. you have a tablet labeled 0.02 mg and your patient is to receive 0.06 mg. how many more milligrams must you give?
4. the tablet available is labeled 0.5 mg, but you must give a dosage of 1.5 mg. how many more milligrams will you need to obtain the correct dosage?
5. your patient is to receive a dosage of 1.2 mg and you have 1 tab labeled 0.6 mg. what additional dosage in milligrams will you need?
6. you must give your patient a dosage of 2.2 mg, but you have only 2 tab labeled 0.55 mg. what additional dosage in milligrams will you need?

Explanation:

Step1: For question 37

The patient needs 7.5 mg and the available tablet is 3.75 mg. We find the difference.
$7.5 - 3.75=3.75$

Step2: For question 38

The patient needs 0.06 mg and the available tablet is 0.02 mg. We find the difference.
$0.06 - 0.02 = 0.04$

Step3: For question 39

The patient needs 1.5 mg and the available tablet is 0.5 mg. We find the difference.
$1.5 - 0.5=1$

Step4: For question 40

The patient needs 1.2 mg and the available tablet is 0.6 mg. We find the difference.
$1.2 - 0.6 = 0.6$

Step5: For question 41

The patient needs 2.2 mg and the available tablets (2 of 0.55 mg) have a total of $2\times0.55 = 1.1$ mg. We find the difference.
$2.2-(2\times0.55)=2.2 - 1.1 = 1.1$

Answer:

1. 3.75 mg
2. 0.04 mg
3. 1 mg
4. 0.6 mg
5. 1.1 mg
