    ATI LPN Dosage Calculation PN Nursing Care of Children Proctored Assessment 3.1
    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 6 mg IM to a child. The amount available is furosemide 10 mg/mL. How many ml. should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    To calculate the volume of furosemide to administer, you would use the formula: Volume = Dose / Concentration. Here, the dose required is 6 mg, and the concentration available is 10 mg/mL. Dividing the required dose by the concentration gives: 6 mg / 10 mg/mL = 0.6 mL. Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.6 mL of furosemide.
