A client has an order for furosemide 60 mg and the available concentration is 10 mg/mL. What volume should be administered?

To determine the volume of furosemide that should be administered, you start with the dose ordered, which is 60 mg, and the concentration available, which is 10 mg/mL.

To find out how much volume to administer, you can use the formula:

Volume (mL) = Dose (mg) ÷ Concentration (mg/mL).

Substituting in the values gives:

Volume (mL) = 60 mg ÷ 10 mg/mL = 6 mL.

This calculation clearly shows that 6 mL is required to deliver the prescribed dose of furosemide. Therefore, the correct interpretation of the question points to that calculation as truthfully reflecting the needed amount based on the concentration provided.

The correct option is not aligned correctly with the calculation, indicating that the initial provided answer may have been misidentified. The correct volume to be administered, calculated as 6 mL, could meet the parameters required for accurate dosing.
