6. A patient is to receive hydromorphone (Dilaudid) 1.5 mg IV push now. The
medication comes in a prefilled syringe, 2 mg/ml. Identify how many milliliters will the
nurse administer for this dose.

The nurse will apply 0,75 milliliters

Explanation:

If a pre-filled syringe contains 2mg / ml, how many milliliters of the solution does 1.5mg contain? For this we develop the formula with a rule of three, as follows,

2mg. 1ml

1,5mg X

1,5mg*1ml=1,5

2mg/1,5mg=0,75 ml=X

thus we obtain that in 1.5mg there will be 0.75 ml of solution.
