Extract:
A nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen 10 mg/kg PO to a child. The child weighs 55 lb. Available is ibuprofen 100 mg/5 mL solution.
Question 1 of 5
How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
