    Calculation

    A client with a chlamydia infection receives a prescription for a single dose azithromycin 1 gram by mouth. The bottle is labeled "Azithromycin for Oral Suspension, USP 200 mg per 5 mL." How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    The prescription is for 1 gram of azithromycin, which is 1000 mg. The concentration of the suspension is 200 mg per 5 mL. To calculate the amount in mL: 1000 mg / 200 mg per 5 mL = 25 mL The nurse should administer 25 mL of the suspension.
