Final answer:

To find the volume of in-stock medication required, set up a proportion using the given dosage strength and physician's order.


Explanation:

To calculate the volume of the in-stock medication needed, you must set up a proportion using the dosage strength given:

  1. Given: Dosage strength = 100mg/2mL
    Physician's order = 120mg
  2. Setup: 100mg/2mL = 120mg/X mL
  3. Solve: X = (120mg * 2mL) / 100mg = 2.4mL to be administered from the in-stock medication.
