Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer procaine penicillin G 1,200,000 units IM to a client who has a gonococcal infection. Available is procaine penicillin G injection 600,000 units/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Desired dose: 1,200,000 units Available concentration: 600,000 units/mL Calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL). Volume (mL) = Desired Dose (units) / Available Concentration (units/mL) = 1,200,000 units/600,000 units/mL = 2 mL.
