If you are given an order to give an agitated patient 0.5mg of Ativan IM now, but you only have Ativan in 2mg/ml vials on hand, how many ml of Ativan should you give to correctly carry out the order?
  1. You should give 1ml IM
  2. You should not give it because you do not have the exact dose to give the patient
  3. You should give 0.25ml IM
  4. You should give 0.5ml IM
Explanation
Answer - C - You should give 0.25ml of Ativan because if there is 2mg in 1ml it would mean that there is 1mg in 0.5ml, so in turn there will be 0.5mg in 0.25ml.
