Question 1 of 5
The healthcare provider prescribes streptomycin 200 mg intramuscularly every 12 hours. The vial is labeled, 'Streptomycin 1 gram/2.5 mL.' How many milliliters should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)
Correct Answer: 0.5
Rationale: The correct answer is 0.5 mL.
To find the answer, we can use the following formula: (mL to be administered) = (mg prescribed) / (mg per mL). Substituting the given values, we get: (mL to be administered) = (200) / (1000 / 2.5). Simplifying, we get: (mL to be administered) = (200) x (2.5 / 1000). (mL to be administered) = 0.5.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.5 mL of streptomycin from the vial to the client.
