Question 1 of 5

An adult client receives a prescription for diphenhydramine 15 mL by mouth every 12 hours PRN for pruritus. The bottle is labeled, 'diphenhydramine 12.5 mg/5 mL.' What is the total daily dose in mg that the client receives? (Enter numerical value only.)

Correct Answer: 75

Rationale:
To find the answer, we can use the following steps: Calculate the dose of diphenhydramine in mg per administration by multiplying the volume in mL by the concentration in mg/mL. Multiply the dose in mg per administration by the number of administrations per day. Round the result to the nearest whole number. Using these steps, we get: (dose in mg per administration) = (15) x (12.5 / 5) = 37.5 mg. (total daily dose in mg) = (37.5) x (2) = 75 mg. (rounded total daily dose in mg) = 75 mg.
Therefore, the client receives 75 mg of diphenhydramine per day.
