Question 1204868: Novolog 70/30 Insulin (U-100) -
Inject 30 units SC bid #1 vial (30 days)
What is the total quantity of units and vials needed for this therapy? Please show work

Answer by KMST(5328)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Information needed:
U-100 insulin contains 100 units of insulin per 1 cc
A vial of insulin contains 10cc
bid means twice a day
Show your work means that you should show the reasoning for the answer the way the teacher expects its, and presumably showed in class, but I was not in your class.

Showing my way:
(30units/injection)x(2injections/day)x(30days)=30x2x30=
(100units/1cc)x(10cc/vial)=1000units/vial, so 1 vial is not enough because

How many vials are needed?
As a math problem,
you could divide by to get
and then round up to
(2vials)x(1000units/vial)=2000units, and
are needed because 1 vial is not enough.
