Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer clindamycin palmitate 225 mg PO every 8 hours to a client. The amount available is clindamycin palmitate oral suspension 75 mg/5 mL. 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: 15
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: 15 mL
Rationale:
To calculate the mL to administer, first determine the total daily dose (675 mg). Divide this by the concentration of the oral suspension (75 mg/5 mL) to get the total mL per day (45 mL). Divide this by the number of doses per day (3) to get the mL per dose (15 mL).
Summary:
A: Incorrect, as it does not align with the correct calculation.
B-G: Irrelevant since the correct calculation method indicates 15 mL is the appropriate answer.
