    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

    Ordered Dose (D) = 5 mg Available Dose (H) = 20 mg Quantity (Q) = 1 mL Calculate Volume (mL) Volume (mL) = (Dose Ordered (D) / Dose Available (H)) x Quantity (Q) = (5 mg / 20 mg) x 1 mL = 0.25 x 1 mL = 0.25 mL
