A nurse is preparing to administer indomethacin 75 mg PO bid. Available is indomethacin 25mg/5mL. How many ML should the nurse administer per dose.
To administer 75 mg of indomethacin per dose, the nurse should administer:
75 mg / 25 mg = <<75/25=3>>3
The nurse needs to administer 3 doses of indomethacin per dose.
Since the indomethacin is available in a concentration of 25 mg/5 mL, the nurse should administer:
3 doses × 5 mL/dose = <<3*5=15>>15 mL.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 15 mL of indomethacin per dose.
