Answer 1

1)ordered dose of Cipro oral suspension= 250mg every 12 hours

Available Cipro oral suspension= 5g/ 100ml

500mg(5g) Cipro is contained in 100ml

So for 250mg Cipro= 100/500× 250ml= 50ml

3 tsp will be administor per dose.

2)ordered dose of Digoxin Elixir= 250mcg(0.25mg)

Available Digoxin Elixir in pharmacy= 0.5 mg/2ml

0.5 mg Digoxin Elixir is contained in 2ml

So for 0.25 mg Digoxin Elixir= 2/0.50×0.25= 1ml

1 ml will be administered per dose.

3)Ordered dose of Theodur Elixir= 200mg

Available Theodur Elixir in pharmacy= 125mg/15ml

125 mg Theodur Elixir is contained in 15 ml

So for 200mg Theodur Elixir= 15/125×200= 24 ml

24ml will be administered per dose.

5)Order dose of Demerol oral suspension=50mg

Available Demerol oral suspension in pharmacy= 25mg/2ml

25mg Demerol contained in 2ml

So for 50mg Demerol= 2/25× 50= 4ml

1 teaspoon will be given per dose.
