    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer liquid famotidine 60 mg PO every 6 hr for a client who has esophageal dysfunction. Available is famotidine 40 mg/5 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. Type number only). . .

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is 60 mg ÷ 40 mg/5 mL. Step 2 is (60 mg ÷ 40 mg) × 5 mL. Step 3 is 1.5 × 5 mL. Step 4 is 7.5. The nurse should administer 7.5 mL. .
