Question

You are preparing to administer 0.33 mL of morphine sulfate IVP and the drug reference book states to dilute morphine with 5 mL of sterile water before giving IVP over 4 to 5 minutes. Once you dilute the morphine, how many mL will you administer? (Round to the nearest 10th decimal and place only the numerical value in the space provided.)

Answer 1

You will administer 5.33 mL of the diluted morphine sulfate IVP.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prepare the morphine sulfate injection, you need to dilute it with 5 mL of sterile water. The final volume of the diluted solution will be 0.33 mL + 5 mL = 5.33 mL. Therefore, you will administer 5.33 mL of the diluted morphine sulfate IVP.
