A client who weighs 211.2 pounds receives a prescription for heparin 80 units/kg intravenous (IV) bolus for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). How many units should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only.)

To calculate the amount of heparin, we need to use the formula: Amount (units) = Dose (units/kg) x Weight (kg) First, we need to convert the weight from pounds to kilograms by multiplying by 0.454. In this case, 211.2 pounds is equivalent to 95.904 kg. Plugging in the given values, we get: Amount (units) = 80 units/kg x 95.904 kg Simplifying, we get: Amount (units) = 7,672.32 units
