    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer ondansetron 4 mg IM to a client who reports nausea following a cesarean birth. Available is ondansetron injection 2 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Desired dose: 4 mg Available concentration: 2 mg/mL Calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL). Volume (mL) = Desired Dose (mg) / Available Concentration (mg/mL) = 4 mg / 2 mg/mL = 2 mL.
