Calculation
A nurse is reviewing the home medications of a child who has depression. The mother reports the child receives ½ 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
Identify the given information: Volume of fluoxetine oral solution: ½ tsp Use the conversion factor: 1 tsp = 4.929 mL Set up the conversion: ½ tsp x (4.929 mL / 1 tsp) ½ tsp x 4.929 mL/tsp = 2.4645 mL Round the answer to the nearest tenth: ≈ 2.5 mL
