In this situation, hydroxyzine is available in a concentration of 50 mg\/mL, which means each milliliter contains 50 milligrams of hydroxyzine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using the Formula:<\/strong> The formula Desired\u00a0Dose\u00a0(mg)Concentration\u00a0(mg\/mL)\\frac{\\text{Desired Dose (mg)}}{\\text{Concentration (mg\/mL)}}Concentration\u00a0(mg\/mL)Desired\u00a0Dose\u00a0(mg)\u200b helps convert the prescribed dose into the volume needed from the stock concentration. For the prescribed dose of 35 mg and a concentration of 50 mg\/mL, you divide 35 mg by 50 mg\/mL to find out how many milliliters contain the desired dose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calculation Steps:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, identify the amount of medication required (35 mg).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Determine the concentration of the medication available (50 mg\/mL).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the formula to calculate the volume: 35\u00a0mg50\u00a0mg\/mL=0.7\u00a0mL\\frac{35 \\text{ mg}}{50 \\text{ mg\/mL}} = 0.7 \\text{ mL}50\u00a0mg\/mL35\u00a0mg\u200b=0.7\u00a0mL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rounding:<\/strong> The result, 0.7 mL, is already in its simplest form. If rounding were necessary, it would be to the nearest tenth, which is not needed in this case.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the nurse should administer 0.7 mL of hydroxyzine to provide the correct dose of 35 mg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The healthcare provider prescribes hydroxyzine 35 mg IM for a client who is vomiting.
