Calculation
The healthcare provider (HCP) prescribes penicillin G benzathine 1,800,000 units intramuscularly (IM) for a client with a bacterial infection. The prefilled syringe is labeled, "Penicillin G benzathine 1,200,000 units/2 mL." How many mL should the nurse administer to this client? (Enter numerical value only, rounded to the nearest whole number.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
To calculate the volume needed, use the ratio: 1,200,000 units / 2 mL = 600,000 units per mL. To deliver 1,800,000 units: 1,800,000 ÷ 600,000 = 3 mL.
