Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer haloperidol 19,000 mcg PO to a school-age child who has Tourette's syndrome. The nurse should recognize that this is equivalent to how many g? (Round the answer to the nearest thousandth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
g
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Dose to be converted = 19,000 mcg. 1 g = 1,000,000 mcg Calculate the equivalent dose in grams. Dose (g) = Dose (mcg) / Conversion factor (mcg/g)3 = 19,000 mcg / 1,000,000 mcg/g = 0.019 g
