The health care provider has prescribed 5 mg of intravenous diazepam (Valium) to treat the client in status epilepticus. The client’s IV bag is labeled “1,000 mL D5NS with 20,000 units Heparin.” Which nursing interventions are necessary to safely administer this diazepam (Valium)?


1. Use a large bore needle to access the IV port.
2. Flush the intravenous (IV) line with saline.
3. Administer the diazepam (Valium) directly into a vein in the client’s hand.
4. Dilute the diazepam (Valium) with xylocaine prior to administration.
5. Observe the IV tubing for cloudiness while administering the diazepam (Valium).
