Calculation
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.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Desired dose = 60 mg. Available concentration = 50 mg/1.25 mL. Calculate the volume in milliliters (mL) to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / (Available concentration (mg) / Available volume (mL)) = 60 mg / (50 mg / 1.25 mL) = 60 mg / 40 mg/mL = 1.5 mL.
