Response:
Administer Ampicillin/Sulbactam [tex]$1.5 \, \text{g}$[/tex], diluted in [tex][tex]$10 \, \text{cc}$[/tex][/tex], [tex]$600 \, \text{mg}$[/tex] IV every 6 hours.

If [tex]$1.5 \, \text{g} = 1500 \, \text{mg}$[/tex], calculate the correct dosage to prevent medication errors.



Answer :

Sure, let's break it down step by step.

1. Understanding the Problem:
- You have a total dosage of 1500 mg (since 1.5 grams = 1500 mg).
- Each administration should give 600 mg.
- The administration is to be done every 6 hours.

2. Calculate How Many Times the Medication is Administered per Day:
- There are 24 hours in a day.
- Given that the administration interval is every 6 hours, you can calculate the number of administrations per day by dividing the total hours per day by the interval:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of administrations per day} = \frac{24 \text{ hours}}{6 \text{ hours/administration}} = 4 \text{ administrations per day} \][/tex]

3. Calculate the Total Daily Dosage Administered:
- Since one administration gives 600 mg, and there are 4 administrations per day, the total daily dosage is:
[tex]\[ \text{Total daily dosage} = 4 \times 600 \text{ mg} = 2400 \text{ mg} \][/tex]

Thus, the total daily dosage administered is 2400 mg.
