So this ... Cefazolin sodium (ancef) 2gm iv with piggy back in 100ml normal saline.... it's just 100 ml. I don't need to add in the 2gm or whatever that is?!

So nothing had to be converted over?! Like the units measured by? I guess I'm just over thinking all of this! Med surg has been over whelming last 2 weeks!

Yes it's 100 my mistake! Thanks
