A nurse practitioner prepares an injection of promethazine, an antihistamine used to treat allergic rhinitis. If the stock bottle is labeled 30. mg/mL and the order is a dose of 15.0 mg , how many milliliters will the nurse draw up in the syringe?
Essentially what the question is asking you to find is the volume of promethazine the nurse will fill the syringe with. The question gives you : - Density = 30 mg / mL - Mass = 15.0 mg
Therefore you can solve using the formula: [tex]Volume = \frac{mass}{density} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{15 mg}{30 mg / L} [/tex] = 0.5 mL
