Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer carbamazepine to a client who has an NG tube. The provider orders 800 mg each day in two divided doses. Carbamazepine oral suspension is available in 20 mg/mL doses. How many mL should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero when applicable. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 20
Rationale:
Rationale:
To find the mL for each dose, divide the total daily dose by the number of doses. 800 mg ÷ 2 doses = 400 mg per dose. Next, convert 400 mg to mL using the 20 mg/mL concentration of the oral suspension. 400 mg ÷ 20 mg/mL = 20 mL per dose.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 20 mL with each dose. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation steps or do not round correctly to the nearest whole number.
