The healthcare provider prescribes epoetin alfa 8,200 units SUBQ for a client with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The 2 ml multidose vial is labeled, "Each 1 mL of solution contains 10,000 Units of epoetin alfa." How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter the numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth).

Here's how to calculate the volume (mL) of epoetin alfa the nurse should administer: 1. We know: Prescribed dose: 8,200 units (given by the healthcare provider) Concentration of epoetin alfa in the vial: 10,000 units/mL (given on the vial label) 2. We need to find: Volume to administer (mL) 3. Calculation: To find the volume to administer, divide the prescribed dose (units) by the concentration (units/mL) of the medication in the vial. Volume (mL) = Dose (units) / Concentration (units/mL) Plug in the values: Volume (mL) = 8,200 units / (10,000 units/mL) Volume (mL) = 0.82 mL (round to nearest tenth as requested) Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.82 mL of epoetin alfa.
