    Calculation

    The healthcare provider prescribes hydroxyzine 35 mg IM for a client who is vomiting. The available drug is labeled 50 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

    mL of hydroxyzine

    Explanation & Rationale

    To calculate the volume of medication to administer, we can use the following formula: Volume = Dose / Concentration In this case, the dose is 35 mg and the concentration is 50 mg/mL. We can calculate the volume required as follows: 35 mg / 50 mg/mL = 0.7 mL
