I think the answer is 6 ml because 120 mg divided by 40 mg per 2 ml gives us the total volume needed. But I’m not completely confident.

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, but I can’t recall if it was about IV or oral doses. I hope I remember the right formula!

I think we need to divide the total dose by the concentration. If furosemide is 40 mg in 2 ml, that might help us find the right volume.

I remember we practiced calculating doses like this, but I'm not entirely sure how to set up the equation for the volume needed.

Checking the access logs is a good idea too, so we can see who might have viewed the data. That could help us understand the scope of the issue.

Okay, let me think this through. We need to consider the skillsets mentioned - Customer_Service, EM_Customer_Service, and WC_Customer_Service. I'll need to review the license requirements for each of those.

I agree with Tomas, because if you divide 120 mg by 40 mg/ml, you get 3 ml. And since the stock injection is 2 ml, you would need 3 ml x 2 = 6 ml.
