Answer:

No. 5% of ciprofloxacin oral suspension for this child exceeds the therapeutic range.

Explanation:

Single dose of ciprofloxacin suspension shall be 400 mg

the pediatric oral dose is 10-20 mg/kg and body weight of child is 55 lb.

1 kg is 2.2 lb= 55÷ 2.2 = 25 kg

minimum required dose for child is 25 × 10= 250 mg

maximum required dose for child is 25 × 20 = 500 mg

1 teaspoonful is 5000 mg.

500 mg ÷ 5000 mg = 0.1 tsp

Hence, the dose exceeds the therapeutic range.

accounting for age, illness, and risk factors, a transfusion is recommended when the hemoglobin is at which level?
victus00 [196]

Consider transfusion if hemoglobin is 8 g/dL or below or if there are symptoms (chest pain, orthostatic hypotension or tachycardia unresponsive to fluid resuscitation, or congestive heart failure).

For inpatients with active acute coronary syndromes and a Hb level less than 8 g/dL, transfusion should be taken into consideration. Adult critical care medical and surgical inpatients with an Hb level less than 10 g/dL may receive a transfusion while receiving sepsis treatment within the first six hours of resuscitation. Acute sickle cell crisis, acute blood loss of more than 30% of blood volume, and symptomatic anemia (which results in shortness of breath, fainting, congestive heart failure, and decreased exercise tolerance) are all indications for transfusion.
