    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer prednisone 40 mg PO to an adolescent client. Available is prednisone oral solution 5 mg/5 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

    Prednisone 5 mg per 5 mL = 1 mg/mL → 40 mg ÷ 1 mg/mL = 40 mL (rounded to nearest whole number).
