Question

A client calls the clinic and says her 12 pound mixed breed dog was just stung by a bee and his face is starting to swell. You recommend she brings her pet in immediately, and the doctor recommends she give Benadryl 12.5 mg orally now before she leaves her house. The woman has some Benadryl liquid that is 12.5 mg per teaspoon. How many milliliters should she give her pet?a. 1.5 mLs

b. 5 mLs
c. 2.5 mLs
d. 0.5 mLs

Answer 1

5mls

Explanation:

Since the doctors recommend the woman to give her 12 pound mixed breed dog Benadryl 12.5 mg orally, and she has Benadryl liquid that is exactly 12.5 mg per teaspoon, all she has to do is to give her dog one teaspoon only.

Since one US teaspoon equals to 5 metric millimeters.

The woman would need to give her pet 5mls then.
