Final answer:

Give 0.8 mL of Thorazine liquid (15 mg/mL concentration) for the one-time dose of 12 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of Thorazine liquid to give, you can use the following formula:

Volume (mL) = Ordered Dose / Available Concentration

In this case:

Volume (mL) = 12 mg / 15 mg/mL

Volume (mL) = 0.8 mL

Therefore, you would give 0.8 mL of Thorazine liquid for the one-time dose of 12 mg.
