Ohhhhh!!! I see it now. I didn't show you the full question because I wan't seeing how the previous part played a role. Now that JKL33 spelled it out for me, it's so very easy to see. Part A of the question did ask me to get the 1.5mL dose. thank you for the clarification!! Boy do I feel silly

It doesn't make sense, does it? Once the med has been reconstituted, you can't keep adding sterile water to the syringe. That would make it too diluted and the wrong dose.

I'm taking a math quiz for a new job. Nothing like getting stuck on a test. It's nice when I'm at work, and a co-worker is available to solve it with me. The question states: There's a new order for Ampicillin 150 mg IV q 12 h. Suppose you have available Ampicillin 500 mg vials. You add 4.8 ml of Sterile water to make a final concentration of 100mg/ml. How many mls of Sterile Water must you add to your final syringe for a Final Volume of 5 mls? I think you can only add 4.8mls of the sterile water period. But it's a tricky question asking how much water to add to the final syringe. Any help is much appreciated!
