    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

    Ordered Dose (D) = 100 mg Available Dose (H) = 250 mg Quantity (Q) = 2 mL Calculate Volume (mL) Volume (mL) = (Dose Ordered (D) / Dose Available (H)) x Quantity (Q) = (100 mg / 250 mg) x 2 mL = 0.4 x 2 mL = 0.8 mL
