Answer:

Each 1.2ml contains 500mg.

For 600mg----> (600 x 1.2)/500 =1.44 mL/injection

6. The order is for Moxam 3gm IM every 8 hours. On hand is a 10gm vial of Moxam with the following directions. Add 8ml of diluent to yield 10ml of reconstituted solution. How many ml will you give? USE DA

10gm of Moxam in total of 10mL final volume = 1g/mL

We need 3g, means 3mL/injection

We need 1200mg-----> 1200/350= 3.4 mL/injection
