    Calculation

    A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the parent of a child who is prescribed diphenhydramine 25 mg elixir every 4 hr as needed. The amount available is diphenhydramine elixir 125 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is 25 mg ÷ (125 mg ÷ 5 mL). Step 2 is 25 mg ÷ 25 mg/mL. Step 3 is 1 mL. The answer is 1 mL.
