Answer 1

Answer #1

ANSWER.

11) Calculation of amount of antibiotic withdraw from the vial.

Formula = Desired dose/Dose in hand * Quantity.

Here

Ordered dose = 50 mg/kg/day.

Weight of the patient = 40 kg.

Desired dose(D) = 50 * 40

= 2000 mg.

Dose in hand (H) = 1000 mg (1gm).

Quantity (Q) = 10 ml.

As per above formula

Amount(ml) of drug withdraw from the vial = D/H * Q

= 2000/1000 * 10

= 20 ml.
