A nurse is preparing to administer diazepam 3 mg IM. The amount available is diazepam for injection 5 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

To calculate the volume of diazepam to administer, we use the formula: Volume (mL)=Dose (mg)÷Concentration (mg/mL) Given: ● Dose = 3 mg ● Concentration = 5 mg/mL Plugging these values into the formula: Volume (mL)=3 mg÷5 mg/Ml Volume (mL)=0.6 mL So, the nurse should administer 0.6ml of diazepam.
