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.)
The Correct Answer is ["1.4 "]
Given:
- Desired dose of midazolam: 7 mg
- Available strength of midazolam injection: 5 mg/mL
The milliliters of midazolam correspond to the desired dose: Volume (mL) = Desired dose / Concentration
Volume (mL) = 7 mg / 5 mg/mL
Volume (mL) = 1.4 mL
So, the nurse should administer approximately 1.4 mL of midazolam.
