Final answer:

You will administer 5.33 mL of the diluted morphine sulfate IVP.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prepare the morphine sulfate injection, you need to dilute it with 5 mL of sterile water. The final volume of the diluted solution will be 0.33 mL + 5 mL = 5.33 mL. Therefore, you will administer 5.33 mL of the diluted morphine sulfate IVP.
