0.5 teaspoons should be administered.

Step-by-step explanation:

One teaspoon is approximately equal to five milliliters.

1 teaspoon = 5 ml

The label on the vial states 100 mg per ml.

     1 ml = 100 mg

      5 ml = 500 mg = 1 teaspoon

That is    500 mg = 1 teaspoon

The physician writes an order for 250 mg of a medication for a patient

            500 mg = 1 teaspoon

            250 mg = 0.5 teaspoon

So 0.5 teaspoons should be administered.
