Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer benztropine 2 mg IM every 12 hr to a client who is experiencing an extrapyramidal reaction. Available is benztropine 1 mg/mL for injection. How many ml should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale:
To calculate the volume (mL): Volume = Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL). Dose = 2 mg, Concentration = 1 mg/mL. Volume = 2 mg / 1 mg/mL = 2 mL.

Correct Answer: 0.5
Rationale:
To calculate the amount: Amount (mL) = Desired Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL). Amount (mL) = 10 mg / 20 mg/mL = 0.5 mL.
