100 mL
Explanation: First convert this infant's weight in grams to kilograms by dividing the weight in grams by 1000, or 1500 g/1000 = 1.5 kg. Then multiply the prescribed dose of 10 mL of fluid by the weight in kilograms, or 10 mL  10 = 100 mL. The nurse should prepare to administer 100 mL of fluid to this infant.
