Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer ketorolac 30 mg IM to a client who is postoperative. Available is ketorolac 15 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2 mL.
To calculate the volume needed for 30 mg of ketorolac at 15 mg/mL concentration, divide the desired dose (30 mg) by the concentration (15 mg/mL). This gives you 2 mL.
Choice A (1 mL) is incorrect as it would only provide 15 mg, not the required 30 mg.
Choices C, D, and the other options are incorrect because they do not align with the calculated dosage based on the concentration provided.
Therefore, the correct answer is 2 mL to achieve the desired 30 mg dose.
