A client who weighs 60 kg receives a prescription for dalteparin 200 units/kg subcutaneously once a day for a month. The medication is available in 25,000 units/mL vial. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

Calculate the total dosage needed: Total dosage = Dosage per kg × Weight Total dosage = 200 units/kg × 60 kg = 12,000 units Now, determine the volume required from the concentration: Volume = Total dosage / Concentration Volume = 12,000 units / 25,000 units/mL ≈ 0.48 mL ≈ 0.5 mL (rounded to the nearest tenth) The nurse should administer approximately 0.5 mL of dalteparin.
