Practice Question

A nurse is preparing to administer risperidone 25 mg 1M. After reading the label, how many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

0.67

Rationale:

🔹 Use formula: Dose ordered ÷ Concentration = Volume. (25 ÷ 37.5 = 0.67 mL).

🔹 The nearest hundredth is 0.67 mL; correct rounding is essential in pediatric and adult psych meds.

🔹 Using a leading zero avoids misinterpretation (0.67 not .67).
