Calculation
A child who weighs 25 kg receives a prescription for isoniazid 10 mg/kg/day by mouth once a day. The bottle is labeled "isoniazid Oral Solution, USP 50 mg per 5 mL.”. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Step 1: Calculate the total daily dose in mg: 25 kg × 10 mg/kg/day = 250 mg/day. Step 2: Determine how many mL are needed to administer the 250 mg dose: (250 mg ÷ 50 mg) × 5 mL = (5) × 5 mL = 25 mL. Final calculated answer: 25 mL.v
