Calculate the amount to administer: ________. (Round appropriately) Ordered: Imitrex 4 mg subcut prn headacheOn hand: Imitrex injection 6 mg/0.5 mL
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
0.33 mL
H = 6 mg; Q = 0.5 mL; D = 4 mg
A = 0.667 × 0.5 mL
A = 0.333 mL, rounded to 0.33 mL
The ordered dose is two-thirds of the dose on hand and two-thirds of 0.5 mL is 0.33, so the answer is reasonable.
