Q. A dilution of NICUmycin in NSS is needed for a neonatal patient. NICUmycin is vailable as a vial. The order is for .a. How many mLs of NICUmycin are needed?b. How many mLs of NSS are needed?
- Calculate Total NICUmycin: To find out how many mLs of NICUmycin are needed, we need to calculate the total amount of NICUmycin required for a mL solution at a concentration of mg/mL.Total amount of NICUmycin needed = concentration volume = mg/mL mL = mg.
- Determine Vial Amount: Now, we need to determine how many mLs of the mg/mL NICUmycin vial are required to get mg of NICUmycin.Amount of NICUmycin per mL from the vial = .mLs of NICUmycin needed = total amount of NICUmycin needed / concentration of NICUmycin vial = .
- Calculate NSS Volume: Next, we need to calculate how many mLs of Normal Saline Solution (NSS) are needed to make up the rest of the solution.Since we already have of NICUmycin, the remaining volume needed to reach will be filled with NSS.mLs of NSS needed = total volume of final solution - mLs of NICUmycin added = .
