Question 6 :
A nurse is preparing to administer phenytoin 75 mg PO. Available is phenytoin suspension 25 mg/5 mL. How many mL 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.
Correct Answer: ["So"," the correct answer is 15 mL."]
Step 1 is to determine how many milligrams are in each milliliter of the suspension. This is done by dividing the total milligrams by the total milliliters: 25 mg ÷ 5 mL = 5 mg/mL. Step 2 is to determine how many milliliters are needed to administer 75 mg. This is done by dividing the desired milligrams by the milligrams per milliliter: 75 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL = 15 mL.
