A nurse is preparing to administer morphine sulfate to a client. The prescribed dose is 0.05 mg/kg. The client weighs 65 kg. How many mg will be administered per dose? Round to the nearest hundredth.

A. This represents an error in rounding to the nearest tenth rather than the hundredth (3.25 rounded to 3.3). In high-alert medications, even small rounding errors can be significant. B. This result is mathematically incorrect for the given variables (0.05 X 65). C. This result is mathematically incorrect and may stem from a miscalculation of the weight or the dosage factor. D. Step 1: Identify weight and dose per kg Weight = 65 kg, Dose = 0.05 mg/kg Step 2: Use the formula Total dose (mg) = Weight × Dose per kg Step 3: Insert values = 65 × 0.05 Step 4: Calculate 65 × 0.05 = 3.25 mg
