Question 10 :
A nurse is preparing to administer mycostatin 400,000 units PO every 6 hr. Available is mycostatin oral suspension 100,000 units/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: ["4"]
To calculate the dose of mycostatin oral suspension, the nurse needs to divide the prescribed amount of units by the concentration of units per mL.
In this case, the nurse should divide 400,000 units by 100,000 units/mL, which gives 4 mL.
The nurse should administer 4 mL of mycostatin oral suspension every 6 hours as ordered.
