The nurse would correctly draw up 1.3 mL.

<h3>What is methylprednisolone?</h3>

Methylprednisolone is used to treat illnesses of the skin, kidneys, lungs, eyes, blood, renal and intestinal abnormalities, severe allergic responses, arthritis, blood disorders, immune system issues, some malignancies, and eye ailments. It lessens the immune system's reactivity to certain illnesses in order to lessen symptoms including pain, swelling, and allergic-like responses. A corticosteroid hormone is included in this drug. In cases of hormone abnormalities, methylprednisolone may potentially be used with other drugs.

<h3>How is methylprednisolone administered?</h3>

Similar to prednisone, methylprednisolone can also be administered intravenously (IV) at greater dosages to treat severe inflammation. The use of IV methylprednisolone in illnesses like lupus that affects the kidneys or brain as well as some forms of vasculitis is an example.

<h3>Given: </h3>

Desired dose : 80 mg

Quantity on hand : 2 mL

Dose on hand : 120 g

Desired quantity = ?

<h3>Formula used : </h3>

\frac{Dose on hand }{Quantity on hand } = \frac{Dose desired}{Quantity desired}

<h3>Solution : </h3>

120 g / 2 mL = 80 g / Quantity desired

= > Quantity desired =  2 x 80 / 120  mL

= > Quantity desired = 1.33 mL ≈ 1.3mL  

Therefore, quantity of methylprednisolone intravenously (IV) drawn by the nurse is 1.3 mL .
