    Calculation

    A client is to receive progesterone 10 mg IM daily. The medication is labeled "Progesterone 50 mg/mL." How many mL should the nurse administer? Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Desired dose = 10 mg. Available concentration = 50 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL). Volume to administer (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 10 mg / 50 mg/mL = 0.2 mL.
