Zorluk: KolayPharmacological and Parenteral Therapies

A healthcare provider prescribes oral amoxicillin 500 mg500\text{ mg} every 88 hours for a client with a respiratory tract infection. The pharmacy dispenses an amoxicillin oral suspension labeled 250 mg/5 mL250\text{ mg}/5\text{ mL}. How many milliliters (mL) should the nurse administer for a single dose? (Record answer as a whole number.)

Cevap: 10 mL

Cevap

10
Using the standard dosage calculation formula DesiredHave×Volume\frac{\text{Desired}}{\text{Have}} \times \text{Volume}, the correct setup is 500 mg250 mg×5 mL\frac{500\text{ mg}}{250\text{ mg}} \times 5\text{ mL}. Dividing 500500 by 250250 results in 22. Multiplying 22 by the supplied volume of 5 mL5\text{ mL} gives a final administrable dose of 10 mL10\text{ mL}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the known variables from the provider's prescription and the available medication supply.
Desired dose = 500 mg500\text{ mg}, Available dose (Have) = 250 mg250\text{ mg}, Volume = 5 mL5\text{ mL}.
Accurate identification of given numerical values is necessary before setting up the dosage calculation equation.
2
Set up the dosage calculation using the appropriate formula.
500 mg250 mg×5 mL\frac{500\text{ mg}}{250\text{ mg}} \times 5\text{ mL}
The standard formula for liquid medication calculation is DesiredHave×Volume\frac{\text{Desired}}{\text{Have}} \times \text{Volume}.
3
Perform the mathematical calculation to find the final administration volume.
2×5 mL=10 mL2 \times 5\text{ mL} = 10\text{ mL}.
Executing the calculation yields the exact volume of oral suspension the nurse needs to pour or draw up for one dose.
