    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer chlorpromazine 50 mg IM to a client. Available is chlorpromazine 25 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use leading zero if it applies Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Determine the concentration of the chlorpromazine injection: Available concentration: 25 mg/mL Calculate the volume (in mL) needed for a 50 mg dose: Use the concentration as a conversion factor: Volume (mL) = Ordered dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Volume (mL) = 50 mg / 25 mg/mL = 2 mL
