    Dosage calculation rn critical care proctored assessment 3.2

    A nurse is preparing to administer methylprednisolone. Which of the following information should the nurse identify as correct according to the medication label?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. The medication can be used for IV administration: The label clearly states that the medication is for intramuscular or intravenous use only. This means the medication is indeed suitable for IV administration. B. The medication can be used for up to 14 days after reconstitution: The label specifically mentions that the reconstituted medication should be used within 48 hours. This is less than 14 days. C. The medication should be reconstituted with 0.9% sodium chloride solution: The label specifies that the medication should be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water for injection, not 0.9% sodium chloride solution. D. The vial contains a single dose: The label indicates that this is a multiple dose vial, meaning it contains more than one dose.
