A nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen solution 60 mg orally to a 7-month-old infant who is febrile. Available is ibuprofen 50 mg/1.25 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Identify the ordered dose and available concentration Ordered Dose: 60 mg Available Concentration: 50 mg/1.25 mL Calculate the volume to administer Volume to administer = (Ordered Dose ÷ Concentration) × Volume of Concentration Volume to administer = (60 ÷ 50) × 1.25 Volume to administer = 1.2 × 1.25 = 1.5 mL
