A nurse is preparing to administer morphine 15 mg subcutaneously. The amount available is morphine injection 10 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct answer
1.5
Rationale
To calculate the volume: Volume (mL) = Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) = 15 mg / 10 mg/mL = 1.5 mL.
