Do you have this item for some people? How many? What is the R-squared for this item when you regress it on all the other items for people who have the whole questionnaire? If it's high (say, > 0.6), I'd run a single imputation. If it's not, I'd consider running multiple imputation, but I'd probably just do mean score of items on the same subscale. The advantage you have is that if this item is highly correlated with the other items, it is easy to predict what the score would be. If the item is not highly correlated, it just adds random noise anyway, so you can use mean substitution and it won't hurt.
