Calculation
A nurse is caring for a client who reports taking 1 Tbsp of guaifenesin oral solution every 4 hr. The concentration on the client's bottle reads guaifenesin 100 mg/5 mL. How many mg of guaifenesin is the client taking with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Convert tablespoons to mL 1 Tbsp = 15 mL Identify the concentration of the oral solution Concentration: 100 mg/5 mL Calculate the dose in mg Dose (mg) = (Volume Taken ÷ Volume of Concentration) × Concentration Dose = (15 ÷ 5) × 100 Dose = 3 × 100 = 300 mg
