Ati dosage calculation rn proctored assessment 3.2
Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer heparin 10,000 units subcutaneous every 8 hr. Available is heparin injection 20,000 units/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Desired dose = 10,000 units. Available concentration = 20,000 units/mL. Calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL). Volume to administer (mL) = Desired dose (units) / Available concentration (units/mL) = 10,000 units / 20,000 units/mL = 0.5 mL.
