If a physician orders 75 mg of a medication intramuscularly and has 50 mg/mL available, how many cc should be drawn?

To determine how many cc should be drawn for a 75 mg dosage when the available concentration is 50 mg/mL, the calculation involves using the formula:

[ \text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{\text{Desired dose (mg)}}{\text{Concentration (mg/mL)}} ]

Substituting the values:

[ \text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{75 \text{ mg}}{50 \text{ mg/mL}} = 1.5 \text{ mL} ]

Since 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cc, this means you would need to draw 1.5 cc. This aligns precisely with the answer choice provided, emphasizing the importance of understanding dosing calculations in pharmacology. Using the correct calculations ensures safe and accurate medication administration.
