Answer:

1.5 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The abbreviation mcg stands for "microgram," or 10^-6 grams. The abbreviation mg stands for "milligram," or 10^-3 grams. The relationship between these is ...

1 mg = 1000 mcg

The order for 6000 mcg is an order for 6(1000 mcg) = 6(1 mg) = 6 mg. At 4 mg/mL, the quantity of dexamethasone required is ...

(6 mg)/(4 mg/mL) = (6/4) mL = 1.5 mL

The nurse will give 1.5 milliliters of dexamethasone.
