Question

A physician orders aztreonam 500 mg IM tid (three times a day) for a child with a urinary tract infection. The child weighs 44 pounds. The manufacturer recommends a dose of 30 mg/kg q8h, not to exceed 120 mg/kg per day. If aztreonam is available for injection as 1 gram(g) per 2 mL, how many mL would be injected per dose?

Answer 1

None bc the mother of the child said no to the medicine bc of the possible side effects. I dare you actually put that as the answer, look at the angry look on your science teacher’s face
