Dosage calculation rn maternal newborn proctored assessment 3.2
Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer nalbuphine 10 mg IV via intermittent bolus to a client who is in active labor. Available is nalbuphine 20 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse plan to administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Volume (mL) = Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Given: Dose = 10 mg Concentration = 20 mg/mL Volume = 10 mg / (20 mg/mL) = 0.5 mL Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.5 mL.
