    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer midazolam 3 mg IM to a child. The amount available is midazalam solution 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.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Identify the given information: Dose of midazolam: 3 mg Concentration of midazolam solution: 5 mg/mL Calculate the volume of midazolam to be administered: Volume = Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Substitute the values: Volume = 3 mg / 5 mg/mL Calculate the result: Volume = 0.6 mL
