Solution Steps

To determine the volume of Morphine sulfate to administer, we need to calculate the amount in milliliters that corresponds to the ordered dose of 4 mg, given that the available concentration is 5 mg per mL. This involves setting up a proportion to solve for the unknown volume in mL.

Step 1: Determine the Required Dose in Milliliters

To find the volume of Morphine sulfate to administer, we need to calculate the amount in milliliters that corresponds to the ordered dose of 4 mg. The available concentration is 5 mg per mL. We set up the proportion:

\[ \frac{\text{ordered dose (mg)}}{\text{available concentration (mg/mL)}} = \frac{4 \, \text{mg}}{5 \, \text{mg/mL}} \]

Step 2: Calculate the Volume

Solving the proportion gives us the volume in milliliters:

\[ \text{volume (mL)} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8 \, \text{mL} \]

Step 3: Round the Volume

The problem asks us to round the volume to the nearest tenth. In this case, the volume is already at one decimal place:

\[ \text{volume (mL)} = 0.8 \, \text{mL} \]

Final Answer

The nurse should administer \(\boxed{0.8 \, \text{mL}}\) of Morphine sulfate.

You are the operations manager for an airline and you are considering a higher fare level for passengers in aisle seats. How many randomly selected air passengers must you survey? Assume that you want to be 90% confident that the sample percentage is within 2.5 percentage points of the true population percentage. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of passengers who prefer aisle seats. n=1083 (Round up to the nearest integer.) b. Assume that a prior survey suggests that about 36% of air passengers prefer an aisle seat. n= (Round up to the nearest integer.)
