Liquid oral doses
How many millilitres of a liquid medication supply the ordered dose.
Problem
An order reads 300 mg. The medication is supplied as 100 mg per 15 mL. How many millilitres supply the ordered dose?
Round to the nearest tenth of a millilitre.
These are practice problems for exam preparation. Every number in them is generated by CARE for teaching purposes — nothing here is a real order and nothing here is a clinical dosing tool. Do not use this page to work out a dose for a real patient: use your facility's policy, the actual order, and an independent double-check where your policy requires one.
