    Calculation

    Order: Heparin 7,000 units subcutaneously daily. How many mL should be administered? Do not provide the unit of measurement. Only provide the number. Round to one decimal place (tenths).

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    The order is for 7,000 units of Heparin. The concentration available is 10,000 units per 1 mL. To find out how many mL to administer, divide the ordered dose by the concentration: 7,000 divided by 10,000 equals 0.7 So, you would administer 0.7 mL.
