A nurse is preparing to administer cefaclor 500 mg PO every 12 hours.
If the available cefaclor oral suspension is 250 mg/5 mL, how many mL should the nurse administer per dose?
Explanation
Step 1 is to determine the amount of cefaclor in each milliliter of the oral suspension. This is done by dividing the total amount of cefaclor in the suspension (250 mg) by the total volume of the suspension (5 mL). So, 250 mg ÷ 5 mL = 50 mg/mL.
Step 2 is to calculate the volume of the suspension that contains the prescribed dose of cefaclor (500 mg). This is done by dividing the prescribed dose by the amount of cefaclor in each milliliter of the suspension. So, 500 mg ÷ 50 mg/mL = 10 mL. Therefore, the nurse should administer 10 mL of the cefaclor oral suspension per dose.
