Question 1 of 5

A client receives a prescription for dextromethorphan 30 mg every 6 to 8 hours as needed for cough. The bottle is labeled 'Dextromethorphan for Oral Suspension, USP 30 mg per 15 mL'. How many tablespoons should the nurse instruct the client to take within each dose? (Enter numerical value only).

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Since the prescription is for 30 mg of dextromethorphan and the bottle is labeled 'Dextromethorphan for Oral Suspension, USP 30 mg per 15 mL', the client should take 15 mL of the suspension per dose. Since there are 15 mL in 1 tablespoon, the client should take 1 tablespoon of the suspension per dose.
