    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer naloxone 0.2 mg IM for respiratory depression. Available is naloxone injection 0.4 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: 0.2 mg Available concentration: 0.4 mg/mL Calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL). Volume (mL) = Desired Dose (mg) / Available Concentration (mg/mL) = 0.2 mg / 0.4 mg/mL = 0.5 mL.
