A nurse is preparing to administer potassium chloride elixir 20 mEq/day PO to divide equally every 12 hr. Available is 6.7 mEq/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Explanation
To calculate the amount of potassium chloride elixir needed per dose, we can use the following formula:
Amount per dose (mL) = (Desired dose in mEq / Concentration in mEq/mL) * Volume in mL
Given:
Desired dose = 20 mEq/day divided equally every 12 hr = 10 mEq/dose
Concentration = 6.7 mEq/5 mL
Plugging in the values:
Amount per dose (mL) = (10 mEq / 6.7 mEq/5 mL) * 5 mL
Calculating:
Amount per dose (mL) ≈ 7.46 mL
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the nurse should administer approximately 7.5 mL of the potassium chloride elixir per dose.
