To calculate the dosage of diphenhydramine, the nurse needs to use the formula D/H x Q
= X, where D is the desired dose, H is the on-hand dose, Q is the quantity of the on-hand dose, and X is the amount to administer. In this case, D is 30 mg, H is 50 mg/mL, and Q is 1 mL. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
