    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer labetalol 40 mg IV to a client. Available is labetalol 5 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Desired dose = 40 mg. Available concentration = 5 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 40 mg / 5 mg/mL = 8 mL.
