The client is prescribed Cipro 500 mg bid for 10 days. How many grams of Cipro will the client receive for the entire length of the prescription? Round the answer to the nearest whole number. _______ grams
Fill in the blank(s) with correct word
10 grams
Global Rationale: Grams/10 days = 1 g/1000 mg x 500 mg/dose x 2 doses/day x 10 days/ 1 . Multiply the numerations (1 x 500 x 2 x 10 = 10,000). Multiply the denominators (1000 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 1000). 10,000/1,000 = 10 grams.
