A nurse is preparing to administer testosterone cypionate 125 mg IM. Available is testosterone cypionate injection 200 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["0.63 "]

Given:

Desired dose of testosterone cypionate: 125 mg
Available strength of testosterone cypionate injection: 200 mg/mL

First, find out how many milliliters of testosterone cypionate correspond to the desired dose:

Volume (mL) = Desired dose / Concentration

Volume (mL) = 125 mg / 200 mg/mL Volume (mL) = 0.625 mL

Rounded off to the nearest hundredth= 0.63ml

So, the nurse should administer approximately 0.63 mL of testosterone cypionate per dose.
