    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer morphine sulfate 2 mg IV bolus. Available is morphine sulfate 10 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Ordered Dose (D) = 2 mg Available Dose (H) = 10 mg Quantity (Q) = 1 mL Calculate Volume (mL) Volume (mL) = (Dose Ordered (D) / Dose Available (H)) x Quantity (Q) = (2 mg / 10 mg) x 1 mL = 0.2 x 1 mL = 0.2 mL
