Question: 1 / 165

What is the total volume of medication in mL if each dose is 15 mL and a patient takes it twice a day for 7 days?

210 mL

To determine the total volume of medication in milliliters, first, calculate the total number of doses the patient will take in a week. The patient takes the medication twice a day, which amounts to 14 doses over 7 days (2 doses/day × 7 days = 14 doses).

Next, since each dose is 15 mL, you can find the total volume by multiplying the number of doses by the volume per dose:

\[

14 \text{ doses} \times 15 \text{ mL/dose} = 210 \text{ mL}

\]

By performing this calculation, we arrive at a total volume of 210 mL. This option accurately reflects the total required dosage for the week based on the prescribed dosing schedule. The other values do not represent the correct total when applying the given dosing frequency and volume per dose.
