The nurse is preparing to administer 0.25 mg of alprazolam by mouth three times per day. The medication is available 1 mg/1 mL. How many mL will the nurse administer per dose? Round to the nearest hundredth
What will be an ideal response?
0.25 mL/dose.
Global Rationale: mL/dose = 1 mL/1 mg x 0.25 mg/1 dose. Multiply the numerators (1 x 0.25 = 0.25). Multiply the denominators (1 x 1 = 1). 0.25/1= 0.25 mL/dose.
