Case study: A.J., age 46, has a wound infection in her left lower extremity. The culture report stated the infection was caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A.J.’s temperature was 1040F. Amikacin sulfate (Amikin) is to be administered every 8 hours. Dosage is 15 mg/kg daily in three divided doses. A.J.N. weighs 165 pounds. Using the label and physician order above, what is the dosage A.J.N. will be receiving every 8 hours of Amikacin in mg. and mL? Is this the correct, safe dosage for A.J.N. considering her weight and age? What is the appropriate and best route to administer the above medication? Why? A.J.N.’s urine output in the last 8 hours was 125 ml. Is this an appropriate amount of urine? If not, is this an expected outcome of the administration of Amikacin? What nursing actions should you implement, if any?
