Calculate the amount to administer: ________. 
Ordered: 720 mg PO q 12 h On hand: See label
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
18 mL
H = 200 mg; Q = 5 mL; D = 720 mg
A = 3.6 × 5 mL
A = 18 mL
600 mg is more than 3 times 2,200 mg and less than 4 times the dose on hand; 5 × 3 = 15 and 5 × 4 = 20, so 18 mL is reasonable.
