Ati N120 Psychiatric Mental Health Proctored Exam
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: Ordered dose = 40 mg. Step 2 is: Available concentration = 20 mg ÷ 5 mL. Step 3 is: (40 mg ÷ 20 mg) × 5 mL = 2 × 5 mL = 10 mL. Step 4 is: Result = 10 mL. The nurse should administer 10 mL.
