The physician's order for Haldol Liquid Concentrate is for 2 ml every 8 hours. How much would you give if it’s required for a single dose?

In this scenario, the physician has prescribed 2 ml of Haldol Liquid Concentrate every 8 hours. To determine the amount for a single dose, we focus on the prescribed volume. Since the order specifies 2 ml as the dosage, when required for a single dose, you administer precisely that volume.

Choosing 2 milligrams as the correct option assumes a direct relationship between the volume administered and the concentration of the medication. If the concentration of the liquid is known (e.g., if there are specific milligrams per milliliter), it would help clarify how this relates to the weight of the drug. However, in the absence of additional information on concentration, you would indeed adhere to the prescribed volume of 2 ml as representing the required single dose.

The other options do not reflect the prescribed volume and do not provide a correct interpretation of the instruction for administering the medication. Therefore, the most appropriate answer, when focusing solely on the specified dose, is 2 milligrams.
