Answer:

0,250 mL of cefazolin (Ancef) are administered.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to administer 250mg of cefazolin (Ancef) from a vial which concentration is 1gm/mL the following conversion must be applied:

1gm = 1000 mg

Therefore, using the rule of three, (250 mg x 1 mL) / 1000 mg = 0,250 mL.
