20 -- On confirmation of anthrax exposure, Cipro or Doxycyline prophylaxis is started for 60 days. For this order, we are administering Doxycyline. Once the concentration is 0.025 g/5 mL, it is necessary to change the grams to milligrams.
1000. mg = 1 g
.025 × 1000 = 25 mg
25. mg/5 mL
With the concentration of 25 mg/5 mL the nurse would need to administer 20 mL to comply with the order for 100 mg po.
Don't forget to give me a thumbs up!
