Answer 1

The nurse should administer 1.1ml volume of cefazolin

How to calculate the volume of cefazolin the nurse administered?

The final concentration after reconstitution = 225 mg/ml

The nurse wants to administer 250 mg cefazolin IM.

Therefore, the volume administered = $\frac{250 mg}{225 mg/ml}$

                                                              = $\frac{250 mg * ml}{225 mg}$

                                                              = 1.1 ml

The nurse should administer 1.1ml volume of cefazolin.
