    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer ketorolac 30 mg IM to a client who is postoperative. Available is ketorolac 15 mg/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

    Calculation: Desired dose = 30 mg. Available concentration = 15 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 30 mg / 15 mg/mL = 2 mL.
