Ati Pn Dosage Calculations. Adult Medical Surgical Proctored Assessment 3.1
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 2.1 mL of sterile water 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
To calculate the correct dose of ceftriaxone for an adult client with a gonococcal infection, the nurse should use the following formula: Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) = Volume (mL) Plugging in the values from the question, we get: 250 mg / 350 mg/mL = 0.71 mL Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.71 mL of the reconstituted medication to the client.
