Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen solution 60 mg orally to a 7-month-old infant who is febrile. Available is ibuprofen 50 mg/1.25 mL. How many should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

To calculate: (60 mg / 50 mg) * 1.25 mL = 1.5 mL. This ensures the infant receives the prescribed 60 mg of ibuprofen.
