A client is prescribed ritonavir (Norvir) 120 mg PO oral solution bid. The nurse has the following medication available: 80 mg/1 mL. How many milliliters of the medication will the nurse provide to the client? Round to the nearest tenth
What will be an ideal response?
1.5 mL
Global Rationale: mL/dose = 1 mL/80 mg x 120 mg/1 dose. Multiply the numerators (1 x 120 = 120). Multiply the denominators (80 x 1 = 80). 120/80 = 1.5 mL.
