The healthcare provider (HCP) prescribes naloxone HCI 10 mcg IV bolus stat. Naloxone HCL is supplied as "0.02 mg/mL." How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

Calculation: Desired dose = 10 mcg. Convert the desired dose from micrograms (mcg) to milligrams (mg) to match the available concentration's unit. Since 1 mg = 1000 mcg, Desired dose in mg = 10 mcg / 1000 mcg/mg = 0.01 mg. Available concentration = 0.02 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 0.01 mg / 0.02 mg/mL = 0.5 mL.
