    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 30 mg IM to client. Available is furosemide 10 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Determine the total daily dosage: The client is prescribed 30 mg of furosemide. Calculate the dosage per dose: The medication is to be administered in a single dose. Dosage per dose is 30 mg. Determine the volume per dose: The furosemide injection contains 10 mg per mL. The nurse needs to administer 30 mg per dose. Divide 30 mg / 10 mg per mL = 3 mL per dose.
