    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer diphenhydramine 35 mg IM. Available is diphenhydramine injection 50 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.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Desired dose = 35 mg. Available concentration = 50 mg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 35 mg / 50 mg/mL = 0.7 mL.
