Question

Zofran 8 mg oral 3xday. Avail zofran in 100 ml bottle 4 mg/ml. How many ml will the nurse administer eac dose?

Answer 1

The nurse will administer 2 ml of Zofran for each dose.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the nurse is administering Zofran 8 mg orally, three times a day. The available Zofran is in a 100 ml bottle with a concentration of 4 mg/ml. To determine the amount of ml the nurse needs to administer for each dose, we can use the following equation:

Amount of ml per dose = (Desired dose in mg) / (Concentration in mg/ml)

Plugging in the values, we get:

Amount of ml per dose = (8 mg) / (4 mg/ml) = 2 ml

So, the nurse will administer 2 ml of Zofran for each dose.
