    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

    Step 1 is 100 mg ÷ 250 mg = 0.4. Step 2 is 0.4 × 2 mL = 0.8. Final calculated answer is 0.8 mL
