The health care provider prescribes Ampicillin 850 mg p.o. The medication is supplied as 1,000 mg per 5 mL
How many mL of medication would the nurse administer using the basic formula?
____ mL
Record the answer rounding to the nearest hundredth.
Correct Answer: 4.25
The desired dose is 850 mg. The dose on hand is 1,000 mg, and the vehicle is 5 mL. The formula is D X V ÷ H, or 850 X 5 ÷ 1,000. 850 X 5 = 4,250 ÷ 1,000 = 4.25
