Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer diazepam 2 mg twice daily via NG tube. Available is diazepam oral solution 5 mg/1 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Desired dose = 2 mg. Available concentration = 5 mg/1 mL. Calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL). Volume to administer (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 2 mg / 5 mg/mL = 0.4 mL.
