A nurse is preparing to administer exenatide 10 mcg subcutaneous. Available is exenatide 250 mcg/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

Step 1 is to identify the ordered dose and the available concentration Ordered Dose: 10 mcg Available Concentration: 250 mcg / 1 mL Step 2 is to calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL) Volume = (Ordered Dose ÷ Available Dose) × Available Volume Volume = (10 ÷ 250) × 1 10 ÷ 250 = 0.04 0.04 × 1 = 0.04 Step 3 is to round to the nearest hundredth 0.04 = 0.04 Answer: 0.04 mL
