Question 1135401: The doctor finally figures out what is wrong with you and prescribes a medicine that will
return you to full health. The order is for 25 mg of the medicine. The nurse walks in
with a liquid and you ask to see the bottle. The bottle says 100 mg of medicine per 15
ml of liquid. How many milliliters should she give you? Would she need to bring that to
you in a dropper, a little cup, a glass, or a large bottle? Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
