Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer potassium chloride elixir 20 mEq/day PO to divide equally every 12 hr. Available is 6.7 mEq/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 7.5 mL.
To calculate this, first determine the total daily dose (20 mEq/day divided into 2 doses = 10 mEq per dose). Next, calculate the mL per dose using the concentration provided (6.7 mEq/5 mL). Divide the dose needed (10 mEq) by the concentration (6.7 mEq) to get the mL per dose (10/6.7 ≈ 1.49 mL). Since the dose must be practical to administer, round up to the nearest feasible volume, which is 7.5 mL. Other choices are incorrect due to incorrect calculations or rounding errors.
