dosage calculation question

[nursingbug]

I want to make sure I am understanding this correctly. Am I doing this correctly??

ORDER: VANCOMYCIN 0.5G IV Q12H FOR AN ADULT PATIENT

AVAILABLE: 500 MG/VIAL

Preparation and stability

At the time of use, reconstitute by adding either 10 mL of Sterile Water for Injection to the 500-mg vial sterile vancomycin powder. FURTHER DILUTION IS REQUIRED.

After reconstitution with Sterile Water for Injection, 5% Dextrose Injection, or 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, the vials may be stored in a refrigerator for 14 days without significant loss of potency.

Reconstituted solutions containing 500 mg/10 mL must be further diluted with at least 100 mL of suitable infusion solution. The desired dose, diluted in this manner, should be administered by intermittent intravenous infusion over a period of at least 60 minutes.

What is the dose strength of the reconstituted vancomycin?

would it be 500mg/110ml because we are reconstituting with 10ml of sterile water and we are required to add an additional 100ml.

How many mL will you administer/ dose?

0.5g * 1000mg/1g = 500mg

500mg*110ml/500mg =110ml

110 ml

i dont believe this is correct

Why do you think this is incorrect?

[Here.I.Stand, BSN, RN]

How much Vanco is ordered? How much did you reconstitute, and how much did you use to reconstitute it?

[bgxyrnf, MSN, RN]

Of course it's correct.

0.5g = 500mg

You had 500 mg in 10 mL and then added another 100 mL to end up with 500 mg in 110 mL.

Yep, as the other already said: You ARE correct!
