To find out how many mL the nurse should administer:
We can set up a proportion to solve for the unknown.
Given:
The prescription is for 1,000,000 units of penicillin G.
The available medication is 1,200,000 units/2 mL.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
1,000,000 units/ x mL = 1,200,000 units/2 mL
Solving for x gives us the volume in mL that the nurse should
administer.
Cross-multiplying and solving for x:
X = 1,000,000 units×2 mL/1,200,000 units
After performing the calculation, we find that x equals 1.67 mL.
So, the nurse should administer 1.7 mL (rounded to the nearest tenth)
of the medication.
