    Calculation

    A client with chronic constipation reports taking 2 ounces of magnesium hydroxide at bedtime. The bottle is labeled "Magnesium Hydroxide Saline Laxative, USP 400 mg/5 mL." How many mL should the nurse document in the medical record? (Enter numerical value only.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: Convert ounces to milliliters. 1 ounce = 30 mL. 2 ounces × 30 mL = 60 mL. Step 2: Verify the calculation. The client took 2 ounces. 2 × 30 mL = 60 mL. The correct answer is: 60
