David got stuck trying to figure out how many mL per dose he should give his patient. The following is his work so far. What should his next step be?
The doctor ordered 500 mcg of Medication E to be administered instramuscularly ASAP. The label of the bottle on-hand says "Medication E: 0.5 mg per mL ". How many mL should you give the patient?
\[
\begin{array}{l}
D=500 \mathrm{mcg} \\
H=\frac{0.5 \mathrm{mg}}{1} \times \frac{1,000 \mathrm{mcg}}{1 \mathrm{mg}}=500 \mathrm{mcg} \text { per } \mathrm{mL}
\end{array}
\]
He should reconsider his variables. \( H \) should be 0.5 mg per mL
He should reconsider his variables. \( H \) should be \( 500 \mathrm{mcg}, \mathrm{Q} \) should be 1 mL
He should say that \( \mathrm{Q}=0.5 \mathrm{~mL} \)
He should convert 0.5 mg to mL
