Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer liquid ibuprofen to a school-age child. The prescription reads 200 mg every 8 hr. The amount available is 100 mg/5 mL. How many mL of ibuprofen should the nurse administer over a 24-hr period? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To calculate: 200 mg every 8 hr means 3 doses in 24 hr (200 mg x 3 = 600 mg). Available is 100 mg/5 mL, so (600 mg / 100 mg) x 5 mL = 30 mL.
