    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer naproxen 500 mg PO BID for a client who has osteoarthritis. The amount available is naproxen 125 mg/5 mL oral suspension. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is 500 mg ÷ 125 mg = 4. Step 2 is 4 × 5 mL = 20. The final calculated answer is 20 mL.
