A nurse is preparing to administer methylprednisolone 30 mg/kg via IV bolus to a client who weighs 184 lb. Available is methylprednisolone 125 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.)

Convert the client's weight from pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg). Weight in kg = 184 lb / 2.2 lb/kg = 83.636 kg Calculate the total desired dose in milligrams (mg). Desired dose (mg) = Desired dose (mg/kg) × Weight (kg) = 30 mg/kg × 83.636 kg = 2509.08 mg Available concentration of the methylprednisolone = 125 mg/mL. Calculate the volume in milliliters (mL) to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 2509.08 mg / 125 mg/mL = 20.07264 mL. Round the answer to the nearest tenth. = 20.1 mL.
