To achieve a 3 gram daily dose of Erythromycin, given 6/24 (every 6 hours), you would need to reconstitute 3 grams of the powder. Since 1 gram of powder displaces 1 ml of fluid, 3 grams will displace 3 ml of fluid. However, the question seems to be missing the part that specifies how it should be diluted or the final volume needed after reconstitution. Without this information, it's challenging to determine the correct final volume. The choice of 9 ml as the correct answer might be based on additional information not provided in the question, such as a standard dilution practice or a missing part of the question.
