    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer epoetin alfa 7,000 units subcutaneous once a week to a client. Available is epoetin alfa 20,000 units/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Identify the ordered dose and available concentration Ordered Dose: 7,000 units Available Concentration: 20,000 units/mL Calculate the volume to administer Volume to administer = Ordered Dose ÷ Concentration Volume to administer = 7,000 ÷ 20,000 = 0.35 mL
