NICU calculation. Please help.
Hi everyone, I recently started working in the NICU. I have some questions about a calculation and would appreciate if someone can chime in. The calculation is as follows: A one time does of Morphine 0.2 mg/IV is to be administered for post operative pain. The available concentration of Morphine is 10mg/1mL. How much medication should be administered? My answer is 0.02 mL which is correct but since I can't draw up 0.02 in a syringe I was told to draw up 1 mL of Morphine (10 mg) into syringe with 9 mL of sterile water for concentration of 10 mg of morphine in 10 mL will give me 0.2 mL and this I can draw up. Can someone explain the process of drawing up the 9 mL? Where did they get 9 mL from or how do I know how much mL's to draw up to make the 0.2 mL? Only positive comments appreciated Thank you.
