Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer clindamycin palmitate 225 mg PO every 8 hr to a client. The amount available is clindamycin palmitate oral suspension 75 m/5mL. How many ml- should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To calculate the correct amount of clindamycin palmitate oral suspension to administer, we first need to determine the total daily dose (675 mg) by multiplying the dose per administration (225 mg) by the frequency (3 times a day).
Then, we divide the total daily dose by the concentration of the oral suspension (75 mg/5 mL) to find the total volume needed per day (45 mL). Since this total volume is divided into 3 doses per day, the nurse should administer 15 mL each time.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: 15 mL. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the precise calculation based on the given information.
