I feel so silly now! That was so simple, just like a regular Dr. Order problem! The diluent part is what was throwing me off, and it wasn't even necessary to solve the problem! Thanks for your help you guys!
Hello! I am studying for an upcoming drug calculation test and have been having a lot of trouble with reconstitution problems. For example: Order Ancef 225 mg IM q 6 hr. The vial reads Ancef 250 mg. Add 2 ml of diluent to provide 130 mg/ml. or Solumederol 100 mg IM now. The vial reads Solumederol 100 mg. Add 2ml of diluent to yield 100 mg/1.2ml. I just feel like I don't even know where to begin and it's a little frustrating. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
