Calculation
Find the number of milliliters per dose. Ordered: Clincamycin 10 mg/kg IM qid; adult patient weight 56 kg Dosage Strength: Cincamycin 150 mg/ml
mL/dose
Explanation & Rationale
Calculate the total dose in milligrams (mg) for the patient. Total dose (mg) = Ordered dose (mg/kg) × Patient weight (kg) = 10 mg/kg × 56 kg = 560 mg. Dosage strength = 150 mg/mL. Calculate the volume in milliliters (mL) to administer per dose. Volume (mL) = Total dose (mg) / Dosage strength (mg/mL) = 560 mg / 150 mg/mL = 3.7333... mL. Round to the nearest hundredth. = 3.73 mL/dose.
