Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing to give a medication to a client with depression. The order is for Desipramine 100 mg PO. The nurse has Desipramine 125 mg/5 ml available. How many mL will the nurse give?
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale:
Rationale:
To find the mL to give, calculate the ratio of available mg to mL: 125 mg/5 mL = 25 mg/mL.
Then, divide the prescribed dose by the mg/mL ratio: 100 mg / 25 mg/mL = 4 mL. This ensures the client receives the correct dosage. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation process or use the wrong conversion factors.
