Answer: 0.5 mL

To administer 1 mg of vitamin K, the nurse should administer 0.5 mL, as the medication is available in 1 mg/0.5 mL concentration. This means that in 0.5 mL, there is 1 mg of vitamin K.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.5 mL to provide the correct dosage to the newborn.

Choice A: Incorrect, as it does not match the concentration of the medication.
-
Choices B-G: Irrelevant as they do not provide the correct calculation based on the medication concentration.
