Correct Answer is ["0.5mL"]

Explanation

To answer this question, we need to use the formula: D/H x Q = X, where D is the desired dose, H is the dose on hand, Q is the quantity of the drug on hand, and X is the amount to administer. In this case, D is 15 mg, H is 30 mg, Q is 1 mL, and X is unknown. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

15/30 x 1 = X

0.5 = X

Therefore, the nurse will administer 0.5 mL of codeine to the patient every four hours.

Correct Answer is ["2.5tablets"]

Explanation

To find the answer, we need to divide the ordered dose by the available dose. We can use the following formula:

ordered dose / available dose = number of tablets Substituting the given values, we get:

5 mg / 2 mg = 2.5 tablets

Therefore, the client will take two and a half tablets of warfarin daily.
