Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer 2.4 million units of penicillin G intramuscularly for a client who is both positive for HIV and syphilis. The prescriber ordered 2.4 million units IM every week for three consecutive weeks. The available dose comes in a 600,000/mL vial. How many mL of medications would the client receive per dose?
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Determine the dosage required: 2.4 million units Determine the concentration available: 600,000 units/mL Use the formula: Volume (mL)=Required dose (units)/Concentration (units/mL) Volume (mL)=2.4 million units/600,000 units/mL Calculate the volume: Volume (mL)=4
