    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer heparin 2,000 units by IV bolus. Available is heparin injection 5,000 units/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    The calculation for the volume to be administered is done by dividing the desired dose (2,000 units) by the concentration available (5,000 units/mL). This gives 0.4 mL.
