    Calculation

    A premature infant with a birth weight of 1,200 grams is receiving beractant 120 mg intratracheal every 6 hours. Single-use vials of beractant are labeled, "100 mg/4 mL." How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter the numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: Identify the dosage. 120 mg Step 2: Identify the concentration. 100 mg/4 mL = 25 mg/mL Step 3: Calculate the volume to administer. 120 ÷ 25 = 4.8 mL
