Correct Answer is ["10"]

Explanation

First, we need to determine how many milligrams (mg) are in each milliliter (mL) of the solution.

The available methylphenidate oral solution has a concentration of 10 mg per 5 mL.

To find out how many milligrams are in 1 mL of the solution, we divide 10 mg by 5 mL: 10 mg / 5 mL = 2 mg/mL

The child's prescription is for 40 mg per day, divided into two doses. So, each dose should contain:

40 mg / 2 doses = 20 mg per dose 2mg=1ml

20mg= 20*1/2= 10ml

Therefore, the nurse should administer 10 mL of methylphenidate oral solution per dose
