A nurse is preparing to administer diazepam 10 mg IM stat to a client. Available is diazepam injection 5 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

The nurse should administer 2 mL of diazepam injection Here's the calculation: Desired dose: 10 mg Concentration of available diazepam: 5 mg/mL We can find the volume to administer by dividing the desired dose by the concentration and rounding to the nearest whole number: Volume to administer (rounded) = Dose / Concentration = 10 mg / (5 mg/mL) = 2 mL (rounded to nearest whole number) Therefore, the nurse should administer 2 mL of the diazepam injection.
