Calculation
A nurse is caring for a client who has schizophrenia and is experiencing hallucinations. The provider prescribes chlorpromazine 50 mg IM every 4 hr as needed. Available is chlorpromazine injection 25 mg/mL. How many ml should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Desired dose = 50 mg. Available concentration = 25 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL). Volume to administer (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 50 mg / 25 mg/mL = 2 mL.
