Question 6 :
A client has been prescribed an oral suspension with a concentration of250mg/5mL.The prescribed dose for client’s weight and condition is750mg.How many teaspoons (tsp)of suspension should be administered?
To calculate volume of liquid medication to administer based on its concentration and prescribed dose,the nurse should divide prescribed dose by concentration and multiply by volume in which concentration is expressed.In this case,the concentration is250mg/5mL and prescribed dose is750mg so,the nurse should administer(750mg/250mg)x5mL=15mL of medication.Since 1tsp is equivalent to5mL,the nurse should administer15mL/5mL/tsp=3tsp of medication.
