    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer haloperidol 7 mg IM to a client who is severely agitated. 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

    Calculation: Dose ordered = 7 mg Concentration available = 5 mg/mL Formula: Volume = Dose ÷ Concentration = 7 ÷ 5 = 1.4 mL
