thanks for your help Wuzzie Kind regards Petrit

The question again The maximum concentration of clarithromycin is 2mg/ml. We have 500mg clarithromycin in a 10ml solution. What volume of diluent will you need to add to make the solution safe. 2mg in 1ml=500mg in xml =250ml; I thought 240ml diluent needed +10ml of the solution = 250ml total

And do I have to divide the 250ml with 10 ml diluent

volume= 500mg/2mg= 250mg

the concentration was 2mg/ml

50mg in 1ml

The maximum concentration of clarithromycin is 2ml/ml. We have 500mg in a 10ml solution. What volume of diluent will you need to add to make the solution safe volume = 500mg/2ml= 250mg is that correct. And do I have to divide the 250ml with 10 ml diluent

Time= 4mg/mn=160mg/xmn= 40mn

The prescription is 160mg frusemide IV. The recommended rate 4mg/ml. Whats is the minimum time over which the injection can be given

Thanks very much for your help:) Kind regards Petrit

the way I done it is 100mn=1.6hr rate= volume over time; 200ml/1.6hr= 125ml/hr

I just wanted to check with you the second part about the rate of the infusion. rate = volume over hours= 200ml/100mn= 125ml is that correct

I just want to clarify the meaning of the questions Whats is the minimum time over which the drug can be given safety

The second question I think is 10mg/1mn=1000mg/xmn= 100min

about the second questions not sure

you are right is 5mg/1ml;

a) Whats is the minimum time over which the drug can be given safety b) What rate would you set the infusion device to deliver this volume.

A patient is prescribed 1G of vancomycin.The drug has been reconstituted and diluted to a volume of 200ml.The maximum infusion rate of Vancomycin is 10mg/min

sorry I gave you the wrong answer, the maximum infusion rate of vanc is 10ml/mn

first thanks thanks for the replay. So we have 10mg in 1ml I mean maximum infusion rate of vanc is 10mg/ml

1000 mg

A patient is prescribed 1G of vancomycin.The drug has been reconstituted and diluted to a volume of 200ml.The maximum infusion rate of Vancomycin is 10mg/ml. a) Whats is the minimum time over which the drug can be given safety b) What rate would you set the infusion device to deliver this volume. I will appreciate if anyone can help . Kind regards
