    Calculation

    The nurse is preparing to administer methylprednisolone 40 mg IV. The medication vial is labeled, "125 mg per 2 mL." How many mL of medication should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest hundredth.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: Identify the dosage. 40 mg Step 2: Identify the concentration. 125 mg/2 mL = 62.5 mg/mL Step 3: Calculate the volume to administer. 40 ÷ 62.5 = 0.64 mL
