Patient record order requires 1.8g, Intra Venous (IV), q.8h
but available vial shows 2g, nurse reconstitutes this medication with 10 mL of diluent. This gives 180 mg/mL as per given Table 3.
2g --> 10 mL --> 180 mg/mL
1.8g --> 10 mL --> ? mg/mL
(1.8 g x 180 mg/mL) / 2g = 162 mg/mL -----required dosage strength nurse has to work with
Since given vial is 2g and nurse reconstitutes with 10 mL only, otherwise if you calculate with 1g --10 mL process you will end up with value (1.8g x 95 mg/mL) / 1g = 171 mg/mL, but withdrawable volume changes from 11.1 mL to 10.5 mL.
The final answer should be 162 mg/mL only. (Please comment below still if you have any difficulties in getting correct answer as online tests requires high precision values).
