Question

a nurse is preparing to administer a medication via iv bolus. the dose to administer is 100 mg. the medication is available in a concentration of 50 mg/ml. how many ml should the nurse administer? 0.5 ml 1 ml 2 ml 1.5 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Use the formula for volume calculation

Volume ($V$) = $\frac{\text{Dose required (mg)}}{\text{Concentration (mg/mL)}}$

Step2: Substitute the given values

Here, dose required = $100$ mg and concentration = $50$ mg/mL. So, $V=\frac{100}{50}$

Step3: Calculate the value

$\frac{100}{50}=2$ mL.

Answer:

C. 2 mL
