DDC

The healthcare provider has ordered 250mg/day of a medication to be administered BID. The pharmacy provides the medication as 125mg/10ml. How many teaspoons of the medication should the client receive per dose.

Here is how I worked it out

___________tsp/dose

250mg/day

2doses/day

125mg/10ml

tsp/5ml

So I set it up

tsp/5ml x 10mL/125mg x 250mg/day x day/2doses

=2500/1250

= 2tsp/dose

But the guide says the answer is 0.5...I wrote my teacher to ask for her assistance too, but I figure you guys will reply faster.

Many thanks in advance

    2 teaspoons per dose is correct :)

    The guide is wrong. You could do this one in your head--

    250mg / 2 doses = 125mg/dose

    125mg = 10cc = 2tsp
