Could someone please help me with this question:
Order: Ancef 625mg/kg IV every 6 hours for pneumonia
Child weight: 38.2 kg
Drug Available: Dilute each 1-g vial with 10mL of sterile water for injection and further dilute 50mL of NS to infuse over 30 minutes.
a) How many milliliters will you draw from the vial after reconstitution?
b) Calculate the milliliters per hour to set the IV pump
The answer sheet has a) 6.5mL and 56.5mL/hr. I have set up a) to be
625mg/1g/kgX38.2kgX1g/1000mgX10mL = 238.75mL
Help, Help!
