    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer morphine 4 mg IV bolus. 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.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Desired dose = 4 mg. Available concentration = 10 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 4 mg / 10 mg/mL = 0.4 mL.
