Question

A provider order states kanamycin 700 mg IM now. The kanamycin label states, add 5 ML stérile h2o to 1 g kanamycin , 0.5 g= 2mL. How many milliliter should be given

Answer 1

Answer

3.5 ml volume of water  will be required for sterilization of 700 mg Kanamycin

Explanation

First convert mg to gram

700 mg = 0.7 gram

So  

For 1 gram kanamycin = 5 ml of water is required

For 0.7 gram kanamycin = 0.7 x 5 ml of water is required

                                         = 3.5 ml

Then ,0.7 g of water will be sterile by = 3.5 ml

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is: 2.8 ml, they should be administered.

Explanation:

We pass mg to g, 700 mg = 0.7 g by dividing them by 1000.

Applying the rule of three if 0.5 g = 2 ml, where multiplying by 0.7 g x 2 ml = 1.14, and divided by 0.5 g is equal to 2.8 ml, they should be administered.

The answer is: 2.8 ml, they should be administered.
