A nurse is preparing to administer heparin 250 units/kg subcutaneously to a client who weighs 150 lb. The heparin is available in a prefilled syringe containing 10,000 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.)

Calculation Convert Patient Weight from Pounds (lb) to Kilograms (kg) The conversion factor is 1 kg = 2.2 lb. Weight in kg = 150 lb / 2.2 68.18 kg Calculate the Total Dose in Units (Units) Ordered Dose: 250 units/kg Total Dose (units) = 250 units/kg \times 68.18 kg = 17,045 units Calculate the Volume (mL) to Administer Using the Dose/Have method: Volume (mL) = (Ordered Dose (D) / Dose on Hand (H)) x Quantity (Q) Ordered Dose (D): 17,045 units Available Concentration (H/Q): 10,000 units / 1 mL Volume (mL) = 17,045 units / 10,000 units/mL = 1.7045 mL Round to the Nearest Tenth = 1.7 mL Do you have another dosage calculation you'd like me to solve?
