A nurse is preparing to administer clindamycin palmitate 225 mg PO to a client. Available iS clindamycin palmitate oral suspension 75 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Given: Ordered dose of clindamycin palmitate: 225 mg Concentration of clindamycin palmitate oral suspension: 75 mg/5 mL Step 1: Set up the proportion: Desired dose (mg) / Volume to administer (mL) = Concentration (mg/mL) Step 2: Substitute the values: 225 mg / Volume = 75 mg/5 mL Step 3: Solve for the unknown volume: Volume = 225 mg / (75 mg/5 mL) Volume = 225 mg x (5 mL / 75 mg) Volume = 15 mL
