Calculation
A nurse is reviewing the home medications of a child who has depression. The mother reports the child receives 1⁄2 tsp of fluoxetine 20 mg oral solution daily. The nurse should identify that this is equivalent to how many mL? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Identify the volume to be converted. Volume = 1/2 tsp, is equivalent to 0.5 tsp. Conversion factor. 1 tsp = 5 mL. Calculate the equivalent volume in milliliters. Volume (mL) = Volume (tsp) × Conversion factor (mL/tsp) = 0.5 tsp × 5 mL/tsp = 2.5 mL.
