A client is prescribed to receive ampicillin oral suspension 500 mg PO every 6 hours. The medication available is 250 mg/mL. How many mL of the medication will the nurse provide for each dose? Round to the nearest whole number
What will be an ideal response?
2 mL
Global Rationale: mL/dose: 1 mL/250 mg x 500 mg/1 dose. Multiply the numerators (1 x 500 = 500). Multiply the denominators (250 x 1 = 250). 500/250 = 2 mL/dose.
