A client receives a prescription for penicillin G 1,000,000 units intramuscular (IM) daily. The medication is available in 1,200,000 units/2 mL syringe. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: 1.7

Rationale: Calculate: (1,000,000 units ÷ 1,200,000 units) × 2 mL = 1.67 mL, rounded to 1.7 mL. This ensures the correct dose of penicillin G is administered intramuscularly.
