6. George is a 35 Kg 8 yr old who is ordered to receive Ancef 1 Gram IV Q 8hrs. The SDR for Ancef is 50-100mg/Kg/day. Determine the SDR for George?
35 ( 50 ) - 35 ( 100 ) mg / day ; 1750 - 3500 mg/ day
6. Is George’s dose of Ancef within SDR?
Pt recvs 3000mg or 3 Gm / day which is within the SDR / day
Pt recvs 1000mg or 1 Gm / dose which is within the SDR / dose
1750mg/day - 3500mg/day
1.750 Gm /day - 3.500 Gm/day
6. What is your nursing action?
Give the dose.

Your answers for the calculations and determination of whether George's dose of Ancef is within the SDR are correct. George's SDR range is calculated as follows:
SDR = 35 kg × 50 mg/kg/day = 1750 mg/day
SDR = 35 kg × 100 mg/kg/day = 3500 mg/day
Therefore, George's SDR range for Ancef is 1750 mg/day to 3500 mg/day.
Since George is receiving 3000 mg/day (3 g/day), which is within the SDR range, and 1000 mg/dose (1 g/dose), which is also within the SDR range, his dose of Ancef is considered within the recommended SDR.
As for the nursing action, you mentioned giving the dose, which seems to be the appropriate action based on the information provided. However, please note that it is always important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a nurse or doctor, before administering any medication to ensure proper dosage and administration.
