Question

a nurse is preparing to administer potassium chloride powder 20 meq po every 12 hr in 6 oz of water. how many ml of water should the nurse administer per dose? (round the answer to the nearest whole number. use a leading zero if it applies. do not use a trailing zero.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

1 fluid - ounce (oz) is approximately equal to 29.5735 mL.

Step2: Calculate the volume in mL

We have 6 oz of water. Multiply the number of ounces by the conversion factor: $6\times29.5735 = 177.441$ mL.

Step3: Round the result

Rounding 177.441 to the nearest whole number gives 177 mL.

Answer:

177
