A nurse is preparing to administer methylprednisolone 60 mg IM to a client. Available is methylprednisolone 80 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Step 1 is to identify the ordered dose and the available dosage strength Ordered Dose: 60 mg Available Strength: 80 mg / 1 mL Step 2 is to calculate the number of milliliters to administer Volume to administer = (Ordered Dose ÷ Available Dose) × Available Volume Volume to administer = (60 ÷ 80) × 1 60 ÷ 80 = 0.75 0.75 × 1 = 0.75 Volume to administer = 0.75 mL Step 3 is to round to the nearest hundredth 0.75 = 0.75 Answer: 0.75 mL
