A nurse is preparing to administer morphine 0.2 mg/kg IM to a client who weighs 99 lb. Available is morphine injection 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.)

Identify the given information: Dose of morphine: 0.2 mg/kg Weight of the client: 99 lb Concentration of morphine injection: 10 mg/mL Convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms: 1 lb ≈ 0.453592 kg Calculate the total dose of morphine in mg: Total dose = Dose/kg x Weight (kg) Substitute the values: Total dose = 0.2 mg/kg x 99 lb x (0.453592 kg/1 lb) Total dose ≈ 8.99 mg Calculate the volume of morphine injection to be administered: Volume = Total dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Substitute the values: Volume = 8.99 mg / 10 mg/mL Volume ≈ 0.899 mL Round the answer to the nearest tenth: Volume ≈ 0.9 mL
