Question 1 of 5

The nurse is preparing to administer methylprednisolone 40 mg IV. The medication vial is labeled '125 mg per 2 mL.' How many mL of medication should the nurse administer?(Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest hundredth.)

Correct Answer: 0.64

Rationale: The correct answer is 0.64 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) = (40) / (125 / 2). Simplifying, we get: (mL to be administered) = (40) x (2 / 125). (mL to be administered) = 0.64.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.64 mL of methylprednisolone IV.
