The doctor ordered antibiotic G 5mg/kg/day in three divided doses. The medication is supplied 100mg/mL. The patients weighs 120kg. What volume will the nurse administer per dose? Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.

To determine the correct volume to administer per dose, follow these steps: 1. Calculate the total daily dosage: The dosage is 5 mg/kg/day. The patient weighs 120 kg. Total daily dosage = 5 mg/kg x 120 kg = 600 mg/day. 2. Divide the total daily dosage by the number of doses per day: The medication is to be given in three divided doses. Dosage per dose = 600 mg/day / 3 = 200 mg per dose. 3. Determine the volume to administer per dose: The medication is supplied as 100 mg/mL. Volume per dose = 200 mg / 100 mg/mL = 2.0 mL. 4. Round to the nearest tenth: 2.0 mL is already rounded to the nearest tenth.
