    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer ketorolac 45 mg IM to a client who reports severe pain. Available is ketorolac injection 30 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

    Calculation: Desired dose = 45 mg. Available concentration = 30 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 45 mg / 30 mg/mL = 1.5 mL. Rounded to the nearest tenth: 1.5.
