    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Identify the given information: Dose of sumatriptan: 6 mg Concentration of sumatriptan injection: 6 mg/0.5 mL Calculate the volume of sumatriptan injection to be administered: Volume = Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Substitute the values: Volume = 6 mg / (6 mg/0.5 mL) Volume = 0.5 mL
