So I'm trying to brush up on my math skills and I just have a few questions.
1. Ampicillin 1.5g in 100ml 0.9% ns over 45 mins. What is ml/hr. I got 133ml/hr the worksheet answer has 125ml/hr.
2. Zosyn 2g in 100ml DW5 over 40 min. What is the ml per hr. I got 150ml/hr the answer says 143.
3. They doc orders phenobarbital 5mg/day every 12hrs. The pt weighs 25lbs. Available you have phenobarbital 25mg/5ml. How many ml do you administer per dose. So I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out why I don't divide by 2 since it says 12hrs.
Hi there - so you wanted to know about your 3 calculations: Your first two answers were correct. The answers that the book (or other) supplied was incorrect. What was your answer and theirs in no. 3?
