Answer 1

Ans) Order: Tazicef 250 mg IM q8h i.e 8th hrly

Available: Tazicef 1 g IM or IV

1g = 1000 mg

a)Can be reconstituted with 10 ml of bacteriostatic water for injection.

b) so, it will make 1000 mg = 10 ml

c) 1000 mg = 10 ml

250 mg = x

x = 250 × 10 ÷ 1000 = 2500 ÷ 1000 = 2.5 ml

2.5 ml should be administered.
