Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula for volume calculation

Volume (mL)=$\frac{\text{Dose ordered (mg)}}{\text{Concentration (mg/mL)}}$

Step2: Substitute the given values

The dose ordered is 20 mg and the concentration is 40 mg/mL. So, Volume (mL)=$\frac{20}{40}$

Step3: Calculate the volume

$\frac{20}{40}=0.5$ mL

Answer:

0.5 mL
