The healthcare provider prescribes diazepam 10 mg, IM, now.

DIAZEPAM, Injection, USP, For IV. or I.M. use, Rx only, Each mL contains 5 mg diazepam.

Calculate the number of milliliters (mL) for the correct administration dose using the label below = ____ mL

(Round to the nearest tenth (first decimal, 0.0) Enter only the number, no label) .

Choice A rationale:

Airborne transmission typically involves smaller particles that can remain suspended in the air for longer periods. Sneezing, in this case, usually produces smaller droplets that can travel farther distances and potentially infect individuals beyond a few feet away.

Choice B rationale:

Direct contact transmission occurs when there is physical contact between an infected person and a susceptible individual. In this scenario, the infected drainage from the client's wound directly touches the nurse's cut, leading to infection. This type of transmission is characterized by the transfer of microorganisms through physical touch or contact with the skin.

Choice C rationale:

Droplet contact transmission involves larger respiratory droplets that are expelled when a person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These droplets typically do not travel far and can only infect people who are in close proximity. In this case, the scenario describes a client coughing on their hand and another person becoming infected by touching the contaminated door handle. This aligns with direct contact transmission rather than droplet contact transmission.

Choice D rationale:

Indirect contact transmission refers to the transfer of an infectious agent from a contaminated surface or object to a susceptible person. However, the scenario provided does not involve the nurse coming into contact with a contaminated surface but rather with the infected drainage directly. Therefore, this scenario is best categorized under direct contact transmission.

The correct answer is7.1 fl oz.

To convert 240 mL to fluid ounces, you can use the conversion factor:

1 fluid ounce (fl oz) = 29.5735 mL.

Calculation steps:

240   mL × ( 1   fl oz 29.5735   mL ) ≈ 8.12   fl oz . 240mL×( 29.5735mL 1fl oz ​) ≈ 8.12fl oz. Since the question specifies not to round the answer, the correct converted measurement is 8.12 fl oz. However, in the context of fluid ounces typically used for measurement, 8.12 fl oz should be rounded to 8.1 fl oz or 7.1 fl oz (considering one decimal place)
