Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer hydrocortisone sodium succinate 250 mg via IV bolus every 6 hr. Available is hydrocortisone sodium succinate 1000 mg/8 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2 mL.
To calculate the mL to administer, we can use the formula: Desired dose (250 mg) / Stock dose (1000 mg) x Volume of stock solution (8 mL). So, 250 mg / 1000 mg x 8 mL = 2 mL. This ensures the correct dosage of hydrocortisone is administered. Other choices are incorrect as they do not follow the correct calculation based on the given information.
