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)?

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3. 5 mL will be withdrawn from the vial and added to the VCC.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
