Pharmacological and Parenteral TherapiesQuestion 1607 of 2368
The nurse calculates an oral liquid dose for an adult as 9.472 mL. To what amount should the nurse round the dose to be measured?
- 9.5 mL
- 9.4 mL
- 9.47 mL
- 10 mL
Show answer
Correct answer: 9.5 mL
For adult doses over 1 mL, round to the tenth. A hundredths value of 0.05 or above rounds up, so 9.472 becomes 9.5.
