The concentration of the phenytoin solution is given as 
$$
50 \, \text{mg/mL}.
$$
The prescriber ordered 
$$
80 \, \text{mg}.
$$
To determine the volume needed, use the formula:
$$
\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Dose}}{\text{Concentration}} = \frac{80 \, \text{mg}}{50 \, \text{mg/mL}} = 1.6 \, \text{mL}.
$$
Thus, the nurse will administer $$1.6$$.
The nurse will administer 1.6 mL.
