    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer potassium chloride 20 mEq suspension PO daily. The amount available is potassium chloride suspension 10 mEq/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (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: 20 mEq ÷ (10 mEq ÷ 1 mL). Step 2 is: 20 mEq ÷ 10 mEq/mL. Step 3 is: 2 mL. The nurse should administer 2 mL.
