Nov 10, 201411 yr the physician orders Prozac liquid 30mg po twice a day. how many milliliters will you administer per dose? the bottle says it has 20mg per 5 ml
Nov 10, 201411 yr 20 mg / 5 ml = 10 mg / 2.5 mlSo 30 mg = 7.5 mlMaybe you should review some proportions and such since that is a lot of medication calculation. Youtube often has helpful videos.
Nov 10, 201411 yr break it down ---> how many mg in 1 mL? then you can divide the ordered mg by the supplied mg/ml.
Nov 10, 201411 yr Actually you REALLY need to review proportions. Medication calculation is life or death in some situations and you can't get on here and ask for help. Just some perspective. But practice makes perfect so just put in that extra effort to make sure you know how to figure these things out.
