Question

You have calculated a volume amount of 0.335 mL for an IM injection.

What is your final dose volume and what syringe will you choose to draw it up?

Answer 1

Prescribed medication is been calculated as 0.335 ml

This is corrected to the decimal points and can be considered as approximately 0.34 ml of the medicine for the IM injection.

The syringe that should be selected must be of 1 milliliter syringe and that has 10 divisions.

The amount of medicine to be administer is 0.34 ml which means it is less than 1 ml and it can be taken by using a 1 ml syringe.

The medicine should be taken upto the 0.3 marked level and then slowly pull the plunger upto the 4 th division between the 0.3 and 0.4.
