A client receives a prescription for warfarin 2 mg IM daily. The pharmacy delivers a vial labeled, warfarin 5 mg/single-use vial. The instructions read, reconstitute with 2.7 mL of sterile water for injection to yield 2 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter the numerical value only.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
To find out how many mL of warfarin to administer, we need to divide the prescribed dose (2 mg) by the concentration of the reconstituted solution (2 mg/mL). This gives us 1 mL as the answer.
