The physician writes an order for Augmentin 50mg p.o. qid. The drug container label reads as above. How many ml will the nurse administer?Explanation / Answer
Given125 mg= 5ml
Order :50 mg
frequency:aid
route: oral
when 125 mg is equal to 5 ml then to calculate for 50 mg simply cross multiply that is
125mg=5ml
50mg=?
50×5/125
=250/125
=2
so the amount to be administered is 2ml to get 50 mg
or
whem 5 ml = 125mg then 1ml = 25 mg hence to get 50 mg it is 2ml
