    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 

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Desired dose = 35 mg Available concentration = 50 mg/mL Calculate the volume to administer: Volume to administer (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 35 mg / 50 mg/mL = 0.7 mL
