Question 5 :
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: ["4ml"]
To calculate the volume (mL) that the nurse should administer per dose, you can use the following formula:
Volume (mL) = Dose (units)/Concentration (units/mL)
In this case:
Volume = 400,000 units/100,000 units/mL
Volume=4mL
Therefore, the nurse should administer 4 mL of Mycostatin oral suspension per dose.
