    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer cyanocobalamin 100 mcg IM monthly. Available is cyanocobalamin injection 1,000 mcg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Desired dose = 100 mcg. Available concentration = 1,000 mcg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mcg) / Available concentration (mcg/mL) = 100 mcg / 1,000 mcg/mL = 0.1 mL.
