Correct Answer is ["0.9 mL"]
Explanation
To find out how many mL of gentamicin the nurse should administer, we need to set up a proportion. If 40 mg of gentamicin is equivalent to 1 mL, then 36 mg of gentamicin is equivalent to x mL.
The proportion can be writen as 40/1 = 36/x. Solving for x, we get x = (36 * 1) / 40 = 0.9 mL.
The answer is rounded to the nearest tenth as instructed.
Correct Answer is ["2 mL"]
Explanation
To calculate the volume to be administered, the nurse should divide the prescribed dose (200 mg) by the
concentration of the available medication (300 mg/3 mL): 200 mg / (300 mg/3 mL) = 2 mL.
