You're on a roll — here's the completed solution for Question 4, part c: Question 4 c. A physician orders 2g of an antibiotic to be placed in 1000ml of D5W. Using an injection that contains 300mg of the antibiotic per 2ml, how many milliliters should be added to the dextrose injection in preparing the medication order? (2 marks) Step 1: Convert the ordered dose from grams to milligrams. Ordered dose = 2 g × 1000 mgg = 2000 mg Step 2: Determine the concentration of the antibiotic injection. Concentration = 300 mg2 mL = 150 mgmL Step 3: Calculate the volume needed for the ordered dose. Volume = Ordered doseConcentration Volume = 2000 mg150 mgmL ≈ 13.33 mL 13.33 mL of the antibiotic injection should be added. Drop the next question.
