The physician orders Ibuprofen .3mg PO every 6hrly PRN for pain. Pharmacy dispenses oral suspension 100mg/5ml. how much should the nurse administer?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ordered Ibuprofen = 3mg

Available doses = 100mg/5ml = 20mg/ml (Normal division)

Therefore the nurse should administer 3mg/20mg/ml = 0.15mL

Total ordered dose for the day = 3mg x 4 =12mg

Therefore total doses for the whole day = 12mg/20mg/ml = 0.6mL
