Amaan was administered a 2.0 mg/mL solution of azithromycin at a rate that delivered 500 mg in 60 minutes. The IV was removed after 36 minutes when his responsiveness declined. Calculate the rate the medication was delivered in units of mg/min. Calculate the mass (in mg) of azithromycin that was delivered to the patient in 36 minutes. Compare the amount of azithromycin Amaan received (calculated in question 3b) with the appropriate dose immediate release azithromycin for a child of his size. To do this calculate the % of immediate release dosage Amaan received by IV (divide your answer to 3b by your answer to 1b and multiply by 100).
