1. Demonstrate the procedure for arriving at the answer.A. To anesthetize a patient, there is a 10 ml bottle of Ketamine at a 10% concentration. If the doseof Ketamine in cats is 15 mg/Kg and the cat weighs 4 pounds. Calculate a) Weight of the cat inkg. b) mg of Ketamine needed to anesthetize the cat. c) Volume in ml of Ketamine. Answer: a)1.82kg b) 27.3mg c) 0.27mlB. A 15-lb patient presents acute post-surgical pain. To treat the pain, there are ampoules offentanyl at a concentration of 1mg/2ml. If the dose of fentanyl is 5ug/Kg, calculate a) the dose inmg of fentanyl needed for the patient and b) the volume in ml to be injected into the patient.Answer: = a) 0.034mg b) 0.06ml

Weight of the patient = 15 pounds Available dose of Fentanyl = 1 mg per 2 ml Desired dose desired…
