Answer #1

Order: Ceclor 100 mg p.o q8h

Weight = 32 lb = 14.515 kg

The recommended dosage is 30mg/kg/day

= 14.515 kg x 30 mg/ day

= 435.45

Available 125 mg/5ml

125/5 mg/ml

= 25 mg/ml

= 435.45/25

= 17.418 ml per day

The amount of the solution needed for each dose

= 17.418/3 (As the order is q8h)

= 5.806 ml per dose
