Question 1 of 30 :
A nurse is preparing to administer hydrochlorothiazide 150 mg PO daily in 3 equally divided doses. Available is hydrochlorothiazide oral solution is 50 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 5
Determine the single dose:
Total daily dose = 150 mg
Divided into 3 equal doses = 150 mg / 3 = 50 mg per dose
Determine the volume to administer:
Available concentration = 50 mg/5 mL
Desired dose = 50 mg
Volume to administer = (Desired dose / Available concentration) * Volume per dose
Volume to administer = (50 mg / 50 mg/mL) * 5 mL = 5 mL
Therefore, the nurse should administer 5 mL per dose.
