Oral liquid
The provider orders 800 mg of a liquid medication. The bottle is labeled 400 mg per 5 mL. How many mL should be administered?
Answer: - 2.
Daily range + divided doses
For calculation practice, a child weighs 20 kg. The stated reference range is 15–30 mg/kg/day in 3 equally divided doses. The order is 150 mg per dose, and the liquid is available as 250 mg per 5 mL. Is the ordered dose within the stated range? If it is, calculate the volume per dose.
Safety decision: □ Within range □ Below range □ Above rangeDecision / volume if safe: - 3.
Timed IV push
For calculation practice, a prepared syringe contains 2 mL. A verified medication reference states to administer the full volume over 1 minutes. Calculate the average rate in mL/min and the volume delivered every 15 seconds.
Average rate:mL every 15 sec: - 4.
Syringe measurement
An injectable medication is ordered at 200 mg and supplied as 100 mg per 2 mL. Calculate the draw-up volume. Then select the smallest listed syringe that can both hold and measure that volume exactly: 1 mL syringe (0.01 mL markings); 3 mL syringe (0.1 mL markings); 5 mL syringe (0.2 mL markings). If none can, state that—do not round to a convenient line.
Volume to draw:Syringe / exact marking: - 5.
Injection draw-up
An injectable medication order has been verified for 125 mg. The vial label reads 250 mg per 2 mL. Calculate the volume to draw up.
