Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer haloperidol 3 mg IM. Available is haloperidol injection 5 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Desired dose = 3 mg. Available concentration = 5 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL). Volume to administer (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 3 mg / 5 mg/mL = 0.6 mL.
