A 60-kg patient was given a vancomycin loading dose of 1750 mg
intravenously
over 90 minutes. Because the patient received vancomycin during

hospitalizations, it is known that the volume of distribution (V)
is 0.9 L/kg, the
elimination half-life (t1/2) is 17.8 h. Compute the expected
vancomycin
concentration 24 hours after the short infusion (treated as IVB)
dose was given,
assuming one-compartment model.
