    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer naloxone 0.2 mg IM to a client who is experiencing an opioid overdose. Available is naloxone 0.4 mg/mL for injection. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step by step calculation: Determine the dosage required: 0.2 mg Determine the concentration available: 0.4 mg/mL Use the formula: Volume (mL)=Required dose (mg)/Concentration (mg/mL) Volume (mL)=0.2 mg/0.4 mg/mL Calculate the volume: Volume (mL)=0.5
