    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer midazolam 7 mg IM 30 min prior to a procedure. Available is midazolam 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.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    The nurse can administer midazolam 7 mg IM 30 minutes prior to the procedure using the available midazolam injection 5 mg/mL. Rationale: To calculate the volume required, we can perform the following: Dosage (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) = Volume (mL) 7 mg / 5 mg/mL = 1.4 mL Therefore, the nurse should administer 1.4 mL of midazolam injection.
