    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer methylprednisolone acetate 60 mg IM. Available is methylprednisolone acetate injection 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.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Desired dose = 60 mg. Available concentration = 80 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 60 mg / 80 mg/mL = 0.75 mL.
