△ Calculate the daily intake of Mylanta suspension from the compounded medication. ○ Determine total volume of compounded medication ▷ Identify the total volume specified in the prescription. ☼ The total volume of the compounded medication is 180 mL. ○ Calculate volume of Mylanta suspension ▷ Subtract the volumes of other components from the total volume. ☼ The volume of Mylanta suspension is \( 180 \, \text{mL} - (20 \, \text{mL} + 80 \, \text{mL}) = 80 \, \text{mL} \). ○ Determine daily dose of compounded medication ▷ Multiply the prescribed dose by the number of times taken daily. ☼ The daily dose is \( 15 \, \text{mL} \times 3 = 45 \, \text{mL} \). ○ Calculate fraction of total medication taken daily ▷ Divide the daily dose by the total volume. ☼ The fraction taken daily is \( \frac{45 \, \text{mL}}{180 \, \text{mL}} = 0.25 \). ○ Calculate daily intake of Mylanta suspension ▷ Multiply the volume of Mylanta by the fraction taken daily. ☼ The daily intake of Mylanta suspension is \( 80 \, \text{mL} \times 0.25 = 20 \, \text{mL} \). ✧ The patient will receive 20 mL of Mylanta suspension per day. ☺ The patient will receive 20 mL of Mylanta suspension per day.
