A nurse is preparing to administer naproxen 6 mg/kg PO to a child who weighs 27 lb and is experiencing pain. Available is naproxen 125 mg/5 mLs suspension. 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.)

Calculation: Step 1: Convert weight from pounds to kilograms 27 lb ÷ 2.2 = 12.3 kg Step 2: Calculate prescribed dose 6 mg × 12.3 kg = 73.8 mg Step 3: Determine concentration 125 mg per 5 mL= 25 mg/mL Step 4: Calculate volume to administer 73.8 mg ÷ 25 mg/mL = 2.952 mL Step 5: Round to nearest tenth = 2.9 mL
