    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer amantadine 150 mg PO every 12 hr. Available is amantadine 50 mg/5 mL syrup. How many mL should the nurse administer per 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

    Ordered Dose (D) = 150 mg Available Dose (H) = 50 mg Quantity (Q) = 5 mL Calculate Volume (mL) Volume (mL) = (Dose Ordered (D) / Dose Available (H)) x Quantity (Q) = (150 mg / 50 mg) x 5 mL = 3 x 5 mL = 15 mL
