Question 2

A client is prescribed piperacillin tazobactam 4.5 grams every 6 hours. The medication vial states to reconstitute the medication with 10 mL of diluent for 2 gram of medication to yield 2 grams/10 mL.
 
  How many mL of the medication should the nurse provide the client for each dose? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer to Question 1

1/2 tablet
1/2

Answer to Question 2

22.5 mL

Global Rationale: mL/dose = 10 mL/2 g x 4.5 grams/dose. Multiply the numerators and divide by the denominators. The client will need to receive 22.5 mL of the medication every 6 hours.
