Calculation
The physician ordered Cefprozil 87.5 mg po q12h for 10 days. What is the amount to administer?
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Ordered dose = 87.5 mg. Determine the concentration of the available medication from the label. The label states that the concentration is 125 mg/5 mL. Concentration = 125 mg / 5 mL = 25 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer per dose using the formula: Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) = 87.5 mg / 25 mg/mL = 3.5 mL.
