Expert Solution

Step 1
1. Ordered dose of rantidine hydrochloride = 35 mg
Available dose = 50 mg in 2 ml vial
Hence in order to find desired dose we have to use following formula.
Desired dose = Ordered dose * Quantity / Available dose
35 mg * 2 ml / 50 mg
= 1.4 ml
Hence nurse will administer 1.4 ml of ranitidine.
