Simulated
A nurse is preparing to administer naproxen 500 mg PO BID for a client who has osteoarthritis. The amount available is naproxen 125 mg/5 mL oral suspension. 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.)
Correct answer
20 mL
Rationale
Dividing 500 mg by 25 mg/mL (125 mg/5 mL) yields 20 mL per dose, ensuring effective pain management for osteoarthritis.
