Ati dosage calculation rn mental health proctored assessment 3.2 ( 35 Questions)
Question 1 of 35 :
A nurse is preparing to administer aripiprazole 9 mg. IM to a client. Available is aripiprazole injection 9.75 mg/3 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 1.2
Determine the concentration of the aripiprazole injection:
Available concentration: 9.75 mg / 1.3 mL
Calculate the volume (in mL) needed for a 9 mg dose:
Use the concentration as a conversion factor:
Volume (mL) = Ordered dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Volume (mL) = 9 mg / (9.75 mg / 1.3 mL)
Simplify the complex fraction:
Volume (mL) = 9 mg x (1.3 mL / 9.75 mg)
Calculate:
Volume (mL) = (9 x 1.3) / 9.75 = 11.7 / 9.75 = 1.2 mL
