The process of performing dilutions involves specific calculations and steps: 1. Determine the Desired Concentration: Know the concentration that is required for administration. 2. Calculate the Volume of Solvent: Use the formula C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 is the initial concentration, V1 is the initial volume, C2 is the final concentration, and V2 is the final volume. 3. Mix the Solution: Add the calculated volume of solvent to achieve the desired dilution.
