Answer #1

Your patient has a headache but has difficulty swallowing pills.

The physician orders acetaminophen 650mg PO every in 4 to 6 hours.

But you want to give acetaminophen elixir, which is available in 160 mg in 5 ml.

1 ml of solution contains 32 mg of acetaminophen elixir. 160mg - 5ml = 32mg/ml

You need to give 650mg.

650mg - 32mg/ml = 20.31ml

Answer - That means you need 20ml of acetaminophen elixir for the patient.
