    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer iron dextran 75 mg IM to an adolescent. The amount available is iron dextran 50 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Identify the given information: Dose of iron dextran: 75 mg Concentration of iron dextran: 50 mg/mL Calculate the volume of iron dextran to be administered: Volume = Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Substitute the values: Volume = 75 mg / 50 mg/mL Volume = 1.5 mL
