Problem
i. The physician orders Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) for a 4 year old child with a lower respiratory tract infection. The order states "administer 20mg/kg/day divided twice a day, administered by IV route." The child's weight is 35lbs. Ceftriaxone is prediluted in a concentration of 10mg/mL. How many milliliters will you administer at one dose?
ii. The doctor ordered 30 mEq of a liquid medication to be given PO. The available dose is 20 mEq/ 15 ml. How many ml will the nurse administer?
