Answer :
Final answer:
To calculate the volume of medication to administer, one must know the prescribed dose in mEq. The formula is Volume needed = (Prescribed dose in mEq) / (Concentration in mEq/mL).
Explanation:
The question seems to be lacking the necessary information to determine the exact quantity to be administered. Typically, the prescribed dosage (in mEq) that the healthcare provider orders should be known to calculate the volume (in mL) to be administered from a solution with a known concentration. The formula to calculate the volume needed is:
Volume needed = (Prescribed dose in mEq) / (Concentration in mEq/mL)
For example, if a healthcare provider prescribes a dose of 60 mEq of the liquid medication, and the concentration of the medication is 30 mEq per 15 mL, the calculation will be 60 mEq / (30 mEq/15 mL) = 2 x 15 mL, which equals 30 mL.
In the absence of the prescribed dose, you cannot determine the volume of liquid to be administered.
