The healthcare provider prescribes lorazepam 50 mcg/kg IM two hours before a scheduled procedure for a client who weighs 74 kg. The medication is "Available in 2mg/mL vial." How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

Given: Ordered dose of Lorazepam: 50 mcg/kg Patient weight: 74 kg Concentration of Lorazepam: 2 mg/mL Step 1: Calculate the total dose of Lorazepam: Total dose (mcg) = Ordered dose (mcg/kg) x Patient weight (kg) Total dose (mcg) = 50 mcg/kg x 74 kg Total dose (mcg) = 3700 mcg Step 2: Convert mcg to mg: Total dose (mg) = Total dose (mcg) / 1000 mcg/mg Total dose (mg) = 3700 mcg / 1000 mcg/mg Total dose (mg) = 3.7 mg Step 3: Calculate the volume to be administered: Volume (mL) = Total dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Volume (mL) = 3.7 mg / 2 mg/mL Volume (mL) = 1.85 mL Step 4: Round to the nearest tenth: Volume (mL) ≈ 1.9 mL
