A nurse is preparing to administer heparin 7,500 units subcutaneous. Available is heparin 10,000 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

Step 1 is to identify the ordered dose and available concentration Ordered dose: 7,500 units Available: 10,000 units / 1 mL Step 2 is to calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL) (Ordered dose ÷ Available dose) × Available volume = Result (7,500 ÷ 10,000) × 1 = Result 7,500 ÷ 10,000 = 0.75 0.75 × 1 = 0.75 Step 3 is to round to the nearest hundredth 0.75 = 0.75 Answer: 0.75
