    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer hydrocortisone sodium succinate 250 mg via IV bolus every 6 hr. Available is hydrocortisone sodium succinate 1000 mg/8 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero If it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Ordered Dose (D) = 250 mg Available Dose (H) = 1000 mg Quantity (Q) = 8 mL Calculate Volume (mL) Volume (mL) = (Dose Ordered (D) / Dose Available (H)) x Quantity (Q) = (250 mg / 1000 mg) x 8 mL = 0.25 x 8 mL = 2 mL
