Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer haloperidol 5 mg IM to a client. Available is haloperidol 50 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth/whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Correct Answer: 0.1

Rationale:
To calculate the amount of haloperidol (in mL) that the nurse should administer, use the following formula: Volume (mL) = Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL). In this case: Volume (mL) = 5 mg / 50 mg/mL = 0.1 mL.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.1 mL of haloperidol.
