    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer haloperidol 5 mg IM to a client. The amount available is haloperidol 20 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Desired dose = 5 mg. Available concentration = 20 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 5 mg / 20 mg/mL = 0.25 mL.
