The Nurse Is Administering 250 Mg of a Medication Elixir

Question

Examlex · Accepted Answer

The Answer is 1.25
The nurse needs to first determine how many milligrams are in each milliliter of the elixir. Then the nurse calculates how many milliliters would contain 250 mg.
1000 mg/5 mL = 200 mg/1 mL
250 mg/(X mL) = 200 mg/mL = 1.25 mL. OR Dose ordered over dose on hand (250/1000) * volume or amount on hand (5). 250/1000 = 0.25 * 5 = 1.25 mL.
