    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer methadone 2.5 mg PO every 8 hr to a client who is postpartum. Available is methadone oral solution 10 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: Calculate the amount of methadone per mL. 10 mg ÷ 5 mL = 2 mg/mL Step 2: Calculate the volume to administer. 2.5 mg ÷ 2 mg/mL = 1.25 mL Final calculated answer: 1.3 mL
