    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer fluoxetine 40 mg PO daily. The amount available is fluoxetine 20 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is 40 mg ÷ 20 mg × 5 mL. Step 2 is 2 × 5 mL. Step 3 is 10. The nurse should administer 10 mL.
