GIVEN:
No of units to be administered = 40 units.
Supply units = 100 units/ mL.
SOLUTION:
By Unitary Method,
100 units will be equal to 1 mL of "insulin glarigine".
Thus,
1 unit will be equal to 1 100 mL of "insulin glarigine".
Thus,
40 units will be equal to:
1 100 40 = 4 10 = 0.4 mL of "insulin glarigine"
Thus,
0.4 mL of "insulin glarigine" will be administered to the patient.
