Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer methylphenidate 7.5 mg PO to a school-age child who has ADHD. The amount available is methylphenidate oral solution 5 mg/5 mL. How many mL of the medication 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 = 7.5 mg Available concentration = 5 mg / 5 mL = 1 mg/mL Calculate the volume to administer: Volume to administer (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 7.5 mg / 1 mg/mL = 7.5 mL
