Question 18 :
A nurse is preparing to administer phytonadione 0.5 mg IM to a newborn. Available in phytonadione injection 1 mg/0.5 mL. How many mL should the nurse plan to administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: ["0.25 mL"]
Amount of injection in mls = Dose ordered (mg) / Dose available Therefore:
Amount of injection in mls = 0.5 mg Therefore;
Amount of injection in mls = 0.5 mg x 0.5 mL / 1 mg Amount of injection in mls = 0.25 mL
