Correct Answer is ["1.1 "]

Explanation

Given:

Desired dose of cefazolin: 250 mg
Reconstituted concentration of cefazolin: 225 mg/mL

First, calculate the volume of the reconstituted solution needed to administer the desired dose:

Volume (mL) = Desired dose / Concentration

Volume (mL) = 250 mg / 225 mg/mL Volume (mL) ≈ 1.11 mL

So, the nurse should administer approximately 1.1 mL of the reconstituted cefazolin solution.

Correct Answer is ["1.8"]

Explanation

Given:

Desired dose of gentamicin: 1 mg/kg
Client's weight: 154 lb
Available strength of gentamicin solution: 40 mg/mL

First, convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms:

154 lb ÷ 2.2= 70kg

Now, calculate the desired dose of gentamicin:

Desired dose = Dosage per kg × Weight Desired dose = 1 mg/kg × 670 kg Desired dose = 70 mg

Now, find out how many milliliters of gentamicin correspond to this dose: Volume (mL) = Desired dose / Concentration

Volume (mL) = 70 mg / 40 mg/mL Volume (mL) ≈ 1.75mL

rounded off to the nearest tenths= 1.8ml
