Question 9 :
A nurse is preparing to administer ketorolac 30 mg IM for a loading dose. Available is ketorolac injection 15 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
Correct Answer: ["2ml"]
To calculate the volume (mL) that the nurse should administer, you can use the following formula:
Volume (mL)=Dose (mg)/Concentration (mg/mL)
In this case:
Volume =30 mg/15mg/mL
Volume=2mL
Therefore, the nurse should administer 2 mL of ketorolac for the 30 mg loading dose, rounded to the nearest whole number.
