    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer hydrocortisone 100 mg IM daily to a client. Available is hydrocortisone 250 mg/2 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) First, we need to find the concentration: Concentration = 250 mg / 2 mL = 125 mg/mL Now, we can calculate the volume: Volume = 100 mg / 125 mg/mL = 0.8 mL
