    Explanation
    To calculate the volume of haloperidol 5 mg to administer, we'll use the formula: Volume (mL)=Dose (mg)/Concentration (mg/mL) Given: Dose = 5 mg Concentration = 50 mg/mL Plugging these values into the formula: Volume (mL)=5 mg÷50 mg/mL Volume (mL)=1÷10  So, the nurse should administer 0.1 mL of haloperidol per dose.
