Reconstitution calculation exercise1)You are reconstituting a 150mL bottle of amoxicillin 250mg/5 mL. The instructions for reconstitution are as follows. The total amount of water required for reconstitution is 111mL. Tap the bottle until all powder flows freely. Add approximately1/3 of the total amount of water for reconstitution and shake vigorously. How many doses are contained in the bottle if the child were to take 6mL PO TID?

Add approximately1/3 of the total amount of water for reconstitution and shake vigorously. How many doses are contained in the bottle if the child were to take 6mL PO TID?2)A patient has an order for azithromycin 500mg IV administered over 60 minutes at a concentration of 1mg/Ml. The 500mg vial states: Prepare the initial solution of azithromycin for injection b adding 4.8mL of sterile water for injection to the vial and shaking the vial until all of the drugs are dissolved. Each ml of the solution contains 100mg of azithromycina)The 5mL vial will now be added to what size bag of NS to achieve a 1mg/mL concentration?b)At what rate will you set the IV infusion pump to the nearest tenth mL/h?3)A 61kg male patient diagnosed with herpes simplex encephalitis is to receive acyclovir 10mg/kg IV infused over 1 hour, every 8 hours for 10days. You have on hand a 100mg vial with the instruction to dissolve the contents of the vial in 20mL of SWI with the resulting solution containing 50mg of acyclovir per Ml. The calculated dose will then be withdrawn and added to a 100mL bag of D5W. After reconstitution, What volume of the 50mg/mL solution will you add to the 100mL bag?  Health Science Science Nursing MATH 300 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
