Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer heparin 5,000 units subcutaneous to a client who is postpartum. Available is heparin solution for injection 10,000 units/mL. After validating the dosage with another nurse, 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
Desired dose: 5,000 units Available concentration: 10,000 units/mL Calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL). Volume (mL) = Desired Dose (units) / Available Concentration (units/mL) = 5,000 units/10,000 units/mL = 0.5 mL.
