A nurse is preparing to administer albuterol syrup 6 mg PO tid. Available is albuterol 2 mg/5mL. 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.)

To determine the mL to administer per dose, divide the total dose (6 mg) by the amount of albuterol in 1 mL (2 mg). 6 mg ├À 2 mg/mL = 3 mL per dose. However, since the answer should be rounded to the nearest whole number, and 3 is not the nearest whole number to 3 mL, the answer should be rounded up to the next whole number, which is 4 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 15 mL. Other choices like 10 mL (incorrect, too low), 5 mL (incorrect, too low), 20 mL (incorrect, too high) are eliminated based on the correct calculation.
