    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer methylprednisolone acetate 60 mg IM weekly. Available is methylprednisolone acetate suspension for injection 80 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero If it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Identify the given information: Dose of methylprednisolone acetate: 60 mg Concentration of methylprednisolone acetate suspension: 80 mg/mL Calculate the volume of methylprednisolone acetate suspension to be administered: Volume = Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Substitute the values: Volume = 60 mg / 80 mg/mL Volume = 0.75 mL
