    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer zolpidem 10 mg PO to a client at bedtime. Available is zolpidem oral spray 5 mg/spray. How many sprays 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.)

    sprays of zolpidem oral spray

    Explanation & Rationale

    Here's the calculation: Desired dose: 10 mg Concentration of available zolpidem oral spray: 5 mg/spray To find the number of sprays to administer, we can divide the desired dose by the concentration per spray and round to the nearest whole number: Number of sprays (rounded) = Desired dose / Concentration per spray = 10 mg / 5 mg/spray = 2 sprays (rounded to nearest whole number) Therefore, the nurse should administer 2 sprays of the zolpidem oral spray.
