Question 1 of 32 :
A nurse is preparing to administer gentamicin 36 mg IM to a school-age child. Available is gentamicin injection 40 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 0.9
Calculation:
Desired dose = 36 mg.
Available concentration = 40 mg/mL.
- Calculate the volume in milliliters (mL) to administer.
Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL)
= 36 mg / 40 mg/mL
= 0.9 mL.
