A nurse is preparing to administer phytonadione 0.5 mg IM to a newborn. Available is phytonadione injection 1 mg/0.5 mL. How many mL should the nurse plan to administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
volume = 0.5 mg / (1 mg/0.5 mL) volume = 0.5 mg x 0.5 mL / 1 mg volume = 0.25 mL
