A nurse is preparing to administer morphine 30 mg oral suspension to a client. The amount available is morphine 100 mg/5mL oral solution. How many mi should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Calculation: Identify the ordered dose and available concentration Ordered Dose: 30 mg Available Concentration: 100 mg/5 mL Calculate the volume to administer Volume to administer = (Ordered Dose ÷ Concentration) × Volume of Concentration Volume to administer = (30 ÷ 100) × 5 Volume to administer = 0.3 × 5 Volume to administer = 1.5 mL
