Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer ceftriaxone 250 mg IM to an adult client who has a gonococcal infection. The label on the vial indicates to reconstitute each vial with sterile water 2.1 mL to yield ceftriaxone 350 mg/mL. How many mL of the reconstituted medication should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Identify the ordered dose and reconstituted concentration Ordered Dose: 250 mg Reconstituted Concentration: 350 mg/mL Calculate the volume to administer Volume to administer = Ordered Dose ÷ Concentration Volume to administer = 250 ÷ 350 Volume to administer ≈ 0.714 mL Round to the nearest hundredth = 0.71 mL
