CASE 6 A physician orders 1.75 g of Amoxicillin to be placed in 1000 ml of normal saline solution (NSS). Using a reconstituted injection which contains 250 mg of the antibiotic per 1 ml . How many mls should be added to the NSS in filling the medication order? \( \rightarrow \)

To prepare the prescribed amount of Amoxicillin, you'll first need to convert 1.75 g to milligrams since the reconstituted injection concentration is given in mg. There are 1000 mg in 1 g, so 1.75 g equals 1750 mg. Now, since each ml of the injection contains 250 mg of Amoxicillin, you can find out how many ml you need by dividing the required amount (1750 mg) by the concentration per ml (250 mg/ml). So, \( \frac{1750 \text{ mg}}{250 \text{ mg/ml}} = 7 \text{ ml} \). Therefore, you should add 7 ml of the Amoxicillin reconstituted injection to the 1000 ml of normal saline solution.
