    Calculation

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

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Set up the dosage calculation: Desired dose: 60 mg Available concentration: 80 mg/mL We need to find out how many mL will contain 60 mg of methylprednisolone acetate. Use the formula: Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) Plug in the values and calculate: Volume (mL) = 60 mg / 80 mg/mL Volume (mL) = 0.75 mL Round to the nearest hundredth: 0.75mL
