Question

question: 24 of 25
a nurse is preparing to administer metoprolol 5 mg iv bolus to a client for heart rate control. available is metoprolol injection 1 mg/ml. how many ml should the nurse administer per dose? (round the answer to the nearest whole number. use a leading zero if it applies. do not use a trailing zero.)
ml

Explanation:

Step1: Use the formula

The formula to calculate the volume \(V\) is \(V=\frac{D}{C}\), where \(D\) is the desired dose and \(C\) is the concentration. Here, \(D = 5\space mg\) and \(C=1\space mg/mL\).

Step2: Substitute values

Substitute the values into the formula: \(V=\frac{5\space mg}{1\space mg/mL}\).

Step3: Calculate

\(V = 5\space mL\) (since \(\frac{5}{1}=5\)).

Answer:
