Question

8) Prednisone is available in a 20mg/ 5iml solution. The physician order is for 40mg. How many teaspoonsful will be given?

Answer 1

Answer #1

Solution:

Available drug of Prednisone is 20mg/ 5mL

Order drug = 40mg.

So, 20gm of drug present in 5mL

Therefore, 40mg of drug will be present = 40×5 ÷ 20

= 10mL

So, 1mL = 0.203 teaspoon

So, 10 × 0.203 = 2.03 teaspoon.

The answer is 2.03 teaspoon.
