The label on the solution reads Aminophylline 105mg/5mL.

To administer the correct dose how many mL should the nurse give?

Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: "7.9" mL

Explanation

Step 1: Identify the desired dose: 165 mg.

Step 2: Identify the concentration of the medication: 105 mg in 5 mL.

Step 3: Set up a proportion to find the required volume (x mL):
105 mg / 5 mL = 165 mg / x mL

Step 4: Solve for x:
105 × x = 165 × 5

Step 5:
105x = 825

Step 6:
x = 825 ÷ 105

Step 7:
x ≈ 7.857 mL

Final Answer: The nurse should give approximately 7.9 mL.
