Question8. The APRN has prescribed Zosyn 3.375 g TID. How many g(s)\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{s}) will the client receive daily? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? How many grams of Zosyn does a patient get in a day if they take 3.375 grams three times a day? Watch out! Don't forget TID means three times a day!

STEP 2

1. Calculate daily dosage

STEP 3

TID means three times a day.
So, we'll multiply the single dose by 3 to find the total daily dose.

STEP 4

Let's calculate the total daily dose!
We're doing this because the problem asks for the total daily dose, and we know the dose per administration and the number of administrations per day. 3.375 g3=10.125 g 3.375 \text{ g} \cdot 3 = 10.125 \text{ g} This tells us the patient receives **10.125 g** of Zosyn daily.

STEP 5

The problem asks us to round to the nearest tenth.
Our result, **10.125 g**, is closest to **10.1 g**.
We're rounding because the problem tells us to, and it makes the answer cleaner and easier to understand.

STEP 6

The client will receive **10.1 g** of Zosyn daily.
