Type your answer below
Explanation
Step 1 is: Calculate the total daily dosage in mg: 125 mg× 4 = 500 mg. Step 2 is: Calculate the volume per dose in mL: 5 mL× (125 mg÷ 200 mg) = 5 mL× 0.625 = 3.125 mL. Step 3 is: Calculate the total daily volume in mL: 3.125 mL× 4 = 12.5 mL. Alternative Step 2 is: Calculate the total daily volume in mL: 5 mL× (500 mg÷ 200 mg) = 5 mL× 2.5 = 12.5 mL. The client will take a total of 12.5 mL in a day.
