    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer an injection of 0.25 mg subcutaneous terbutaline to a client who is in preterm labor. The amount available is 1 mg/ml. How many ml should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero)

    ml

    Explanation & Rationale

    Desired dose = 0.25 mg Available concentration = 1 mg/mL Calculate the volume to administer: Volume to administer (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 0.25 mg / 1 mg/mL = 0.25 mL
