Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer potassium chloride 30 mEq PO daily. The amount available is potassium chloride 20 mEq/15mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth Do not use a trailing zero.) ______ ML
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Desired dose = 30 mEq. Available concentration = 20 mEq per 15 mL. Step-by-step: 30 mEq × (15 mL / 20 mEq) = 30 × 0.75 = 22.5 mL. Round to nearest tenth → 22.5 mL.
