With a plate count average of 297 and a final dilution on the plate of 1:1,000 ; what is the viable number of cells in original culture (CFU/ml)?
A nurse reconstituted a vial of 750 mg Cefuroxime Sodium Powder for Injection with 6mL of sterile water for injection. The reconstituted solution was dark amber-colored solution. The package insert states that solution colors range from clear to yellow depending on concentration, diluent, and storage conditions. The nurse was then hesitant to give the patient the solution due to its unusual dark color. Five portions were taken from a batch of cefuroxime sodium. Prior to testing in the instrument, each part was subjected to one of the following conditions: Conditions Specifications Temperature Portion 1: 8°C ± 2°C Portion 2: 30°C ± 2°C Portion 3: 40°C ± 2°C Light Portion 4: Kept in the dark Portion 5: Exposed to direct sunlight 1. Which form of the product – the powder for injection, the reconstituted product, or both – will you subject to the following conditions? Why do you think these forms can best address the problem?
