Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer valproic acid 500 mg PO. Available is valproic acid oral solution 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should they administer?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
To determine the amount of valproic acid oral solution needed, we use the formula: Desired dose (
D) = Available dose (
A) x Volume to administer (V). Given A = 250 mg/5 mL and D = 500 mg, we rearrange the formula to solve for V: V = D/A = 500 mg / 250 mg/5 mL = 10 mL.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 10 mL of valproic acid oral solution to achieve the desired dose of 500 mg. Other choices are incorrect as they do not align with the correct calculation based on the given information.
