    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

    Identify the given information: Dose of haloperidol: 19,000 mcg Use the conversion factor: 1 g = 1,000,000 mcg Set up the conversion: 19,000 mcg x (1 g / 1,000,000 mcg) Calculate the result: 19,000 mcg x (1 g / 1,000,000 mcg) = 0.019 g
