Question 1 of 5
A patient has been experiencing acute diarrhea. In order to control this condition, the healthcare provider initially orders Lomotil 10 ml (2 teaspoons), four times a day. Every 5 mL (1 teaspoon) contains 2.5 mg of medication. How many milligrams of medication will the patient receive a day?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 20 mg.
To calculate the total daily medication intake, we first find out how many milligrams are in one dose (10 mL): 10 mL * 2.5 mg/mL = 25 mg. Since the patient takes this dose four times a day, we multiply by 4: 25 mg/dose * 4 doses/day = 100 mg/day.
Therefore, the patient will receive 100 mg of medication per day.
