In this case, the patient has to be moved into an isolated room or into a private room. Vancomycin resistant-enterococci are said to develop a resistance against vancomycin. Enterococci normally live in our skins and intestines as normal flora, therefore it does not cause any problems. In patients who are immunocompromised, they are more likely to be affected by these organisms which commonly infect the intestines, urinary tract infection and wounds. These bacteria are said the be difficult to treat with since there are lesser antibiotics who have greater strength compared to vancomycin.

1. <span>what is the amount of the bolus dose, in both milligrams and milliliters, that you will administer in the first minute? 
</span>The doses is 0.9 mg/kg and the weight of the patient is 143 pounds. So, the total doses of drug needed will be: 
Total doses= 0.9 mg/kg * 143 pounds * 0.453592 kg/pound= 58.37 mg.

10% of the doses will be given bolus for 1 min, so the amount would be:
Bolus doses= 10%*58.37 mg= 5.837 mg.
In mililiters, it would be: 5.837 mg * 1ml/mg= 5.837 ml.

<span>2. what is the amount of the remaining dose that you will need to administer?
The remaining dose would be 90% of the total dose. You can either calculate it directly or subtract the bolus doses from the total doses.
Remaining doses= total doses- bolus doses= </span>58.37 mg- 5.837 mg= <span>52.533mg</span>
