To calculate the volume in mL that you need to administer for an order of 1,000 mg when the available concentration is 500 mg/2 mL, you can follow these steps:
1. Determine the concentration in mg/mL:
\[
\text{Concentration} = \frac{500 \text{ mg}}{2 \text{ mL}} = 250 \text{ mg/mL}
\]
2. Now, use the concentration to find out how many mL are needed to provide the ordered dose of 1,000 mg:
\[
\text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{\text{Dose (mg)}}{\text{Concentration (mg/mL)}}
\]
\[
\text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{1000 \text{ mg}}{250 \text{ mg/mL}} = 4 \text{ mL}
\]
Therefore, you will need to give **4 mL** to administer 1,000 mg.

\[
\text{Concentration} = \frac{500 \text{ mg}}{2 \text{ mL}} = 250 \text{ mg/mL}

\[
\text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{\text{Dose (mg)}}{\text{Concentration (mg/mL)}}
\]
\[

\]
Therefore, you will need to give **4 mL** to administer 1,000 mg.
