Ati dosage calculation rn proctored assessment 3.2
Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer vancomycin 500 mg via intermittent IV bolus to a client. Available is vancomycin powder for injection 1 g vial. The nurse reconstitutes the powder for a final concentration of vancomycin 5 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Desired dose = 500 mg. Available concentration = 5 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL). Volume to administer (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 500 mg / 5 mg/mL = 100 mL.
