A nurse is preparing to administer haloperidol 5 mg IM to a client. Available is haloperidol 50 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth/whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Step 1: Identify the ordered dose = 5 mg. Step 2: Identify the available concentration = 50 mg ÷ 1 mL. Step 3: Set up the proportion: (5 mg ÷ 50 mg) × 1 mL. Step 4: Perform the division: 5 ÷ 50 = 0.1. Step 5: Multiply: 0.1 × 1 mL = 0.1 mL. The correct answer is: 0.1 mL
