A nurse is preparing to administer medroxyprogesterone 150 mg IM to a client who has requested contraception. Available is medroxyprogesterone solution for injection 150 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer?
(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
The Correct Answer is ["1"]
Dosage (mL) = Ordered dose (mg) / Available dose (mg/mL) Therefore;
Dosage = 150 mg / 150 mg/mL Dosage = 1 mL
Therefore, the nurse should administer 1 mL of medroxyprogesterone solution for injection to the client.
