1. what is the generic name of this drug?
2. what route will be used to administer this drug?
3. how will this drug be prepared to be ready for administration?

Explanation:

For question 27, the generic name of a drug is the non - proprietary name. In the label, "Ceftriaxone for Injection, USP" clearly shows the generic name is Ceftriaxone. For question 28, the label states "For Intravenous Use", so the route of administration is intravenous. For question 29, the label mentions "Reconstitute with 95 mL of a suitable diluent as listed in the package insert. Each 1 mL of solution contains approximately 100 mg equivalent of ceftriaxone", so it is reconstituted with a suitable diluent (95 mL) as per the package insert.

Answer:

1. Ceftriaxone
2. Intravenous
3. Reconstitute with 95 mL of a suitable diluent as listed in the package insert.
