Question 1 of 5

The client experiencing an acute attack of gouty arthritis is prescribed colchicine 1 mg IV now and then 0.5 mg q6h. Colchicine 0.5 mg/mL in a 2-mL ampule is available. How many milliliters should the nurse administer for the initial dose?

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale: Use a proportion formula; multiply the extremes (outside values) and then the means (inside values), and solve for X. 0.5 mg: 1 mL :: 1 mg: X mL; 0.5X = 1; 1 / 0.5 = 2; X = 2 mL. Colchicine (Colcrys) interferes with the function of WBCs in initiating and perpetuating the inflammatory response to monosodium urate crystals.
