    Calculation

    The healthcare provider prescribes lamivudine oral solution 150 mg twice daily for a client who is HIV positive. The available bottle contains 240 mL of lamivudine labeled, "10 mg/mL." How many mL should the nurse administer in a 24 hour period? (Enter numeric value only.)

    mL/24 hours

    Explanation & Rationale

    First we calculate the total mg of the drug taken over 24 hours= (150 mg x 2 doses/day) = 300 mg/day. Then, calculate the mLs needed to be administered per day = 300 mg/day divided by 10 mg/mL = 30 mL/day.
