    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer metoprolol 5 mg IV bolus to a client for heart rate control. Available is metoprolol injection 1 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    The ordered dose is 5 mg, and the available concentration is 1 mg/mL. To calculate the volume to administer: 5 mg ÷ 1 mg/mL = 5 mL. The nurse should administer 5 mL to provide the correct dose.
