1.      The cyanocobalamin solution is provided in a vial with a concentration of 1 mg/1 mL.
a. Calculate the correct volume for the ordered dose.
A 200-mcg intramuscular injection of cyanocobalamin is recommended, as stated in the patient's medical guide.
We are aware that 1 mg is equal to 1000 mcg.
Taking 1 mg/mL and dividing by 1000 mcg/mg yields 0.001 mcg/mL as we know.
Multiplying 200 micrograms by a concentration of 0.001 micrograms per millilitre yields 2 millilitres.
