    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer fluoxetine 40 mg PO daily. The amount available is fluoxetine 20 mg/5mL. 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

    Concentration is 20 mg per 5 mL → that equals 4 mg/mL. Required dose 40 mg ÷ 4 mg/mL = 10 mL. Round to nearest whole number → 10 mL.
