Read chapter 35 of your textbook and review the information about dosage calculation.
Analyze the following hypothetical situation:Sam is a CMA (AAMA) certified medical assistant working at a family medicine practice. He is working in the clinical area and receives an order form the doctor. The medication order reads: dexamethasone 6 mg IM qid to administer to a 25-year-old female. That same day, the pharmacy supplies Decadron ampules of 4 mg per mL.
According to what you have studied this week, what do the abbreviations IM and qid mean?
Can Sam administer Decadron even though the order reads dexamethasone? Why or why not?
How many mL of the medication should Sam administer? Explain how you obtained the answer.
What site of administration would you pick for this patient?
Give answer in:
TRUE OR FALSE
