A nurse is preparing to administer paliperidone 234 mg IM to a client. Available is paliperidone 273 mg/0.875 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 by step calculation: Determine the dosage required: 234 mg Determine the concentration available: 273 mg/0.875 mL Use the formula: Volume (mL)=Required dose /(mg)Concentration (mg/mL) First, find the mg/mL concentration: Concentration (mg/mL)=273 mg/0.875 mL=312 mg/mL Now calculate the volume: Volume (mL)=234 mg/312 mg/mL Volume (mL)≈0.75
