I know how to do the math, that's what I got my instructor however insisted you add 5mL, which would give you a concentration of 50mg/mL.

Here's the question: It was a pediatric dose of an antibiotic, came in a concentration of 100mg/1mL, pt. needed 500mg so it came in a syringe of 5mL..... therefore 500mg/5mL I looked up on Lexicomp peds administration and to be given IV it had to e diluted to a concentration of 20mg/1mL. How much NS would you add to the syringe? And how did you get this? I was in clinical and my instructor did it differently and I do not understand how she got that answer because I got a different one. I'm curious to see what others do without me telling what I did first.

Thank you all I really appreciate the feedback

Hello all, I am am currently a BSN student graduating this May. I applied to a DNP program where I would start in the fall and would be part-time for at least a year to gain some nursing experience. I've hear a lot of negative comments about doing this and how crucial experince is before continuing education. I agree with this, but I am still strongly considering the program and I'm looking for others who have went on for their DNP right away. I want to know how it was/is and if you would have done anything differently. Thank you!!!!!

I just read your post and I was wondering if you ever ended up going right away for your DNP? I'm in the process of considering the same decision at a school that has a specific program for BSN students to continue their education right away. It starts part time so I would have some opportunity to get experience. I would love to hear how everything is going for you and if you would have done it differently. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated Thank you!!!!
