    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer diazepam 7.5 mg IM to a client. Available is diazepam injection 5mg/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.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    To calculate the volume to administer, use the formula: Volume = Desired Dose /Available Concentration Given: Desired Dose = 7.5 mg Available Concentration = 5 mg/mL Volume=7.5 mg/5 mg/mL=1.5 mL Final Answer: 1.5 mL
