    A nurse is preparing to administer morphine 30 mg oral suspension to a client. The amount available is morphine 100 mg/5 mL oral solution. How many mL should the nurse administer?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Desired dose ÷ Available concentration = Volume. 30 mg ÷ (100 mg / 5 mL) = 30 mg × (5 mL / 100 mg) = 150 / 100 = 1.5 mL. The nurse should administer 1.5 mL.
