The physician orders Garamycin (gentamicin) 25 mg IVPB q.8h. for a child.
 
  If the label on the Garamycin vial reads 5 mg/mL, how many milliliters will you withdraw from the vial to add to the volume control chamber? If the recommended concentration of the solution for infusion is 2 mg/mL, how would you then dilute the medication in the volume control chamber (VCC)? 1. 5 mL of medication and 12.5 mL of fluid
  2. 125 mL of medication and 125 mL of fluid
  3. 5 mL will be withdrawn from the vial and added to the VCC. And then IV fluid must be added to the VCC to the level of 12.5 mL
  4. 125 mL of medication and no further fluid is needed

Global Rationale: 5 mL of medication to be added to the VCC; 25 mg  1 mL/2 mg = 12.5 mL.
