    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer morphine 15 mg subcutaneously. The amount available is morphine injection 10 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    ml

    Explanation & Rationale

    Volume= Desired dose/ concentration in mg/ml Concentration per ml= 10mg/ml Desired dose= 15mg Volume= 15mg/10mg/ml Volume = 1.5ml Therefore, the nurse should administer 1.5ml of morphine
