Calculate the amount to administer: ________. Ordered: KCl oral solution 50 mEq PO dailyOn hand: KCl oral solution 25 mEq/5 mL
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
10 mL

A = 2 × 5 mL
A = 10 mL
The ordered dose is twice the dose on hand and 2 × 5 mL = 10 mL, so the answer is reasonable.
