Answer:
337.5 mg
Step-by-step explanation:
A licensed nurse practitioner is instructed to give a patient 2700 milligrams of an antibiotic over a period of 48 hours. If the antibiotic is to be given every 6 hours
Hence: the number of doses or times the antibiotic would be administered =
48 hours/6 hours = 8 doses(times)
The amount of antibiotic that should be given in each dose is:
48 hours = 2700 mg
6 hours = x mg
Cross Multiply
48x = 2700 mg × 6 hours
x = 2700mg × 6/48
x = 2700/8
x = 337.5 mg
