    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer ketorolac 12 mg IV bolus to an adolescent. The amount available is ketorolac injection 15 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

    Step by step calculation: The desired dose of ketorolac is 12 mg. The available concentration is 15 mg/mL. Calculating the volume to administer: Use the concentration of the medication: 12 mg ÷ 15 mg/mL = 0.8 mL
