Liquid oral doses
How many millilitres of a liquid medication supply the ordered dose.
Problem
An order reads 200 mg. The medication is supplied as 100 mg per 5 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.
