    Calculation

    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.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: Identify the concentration. 10,000 units/mL Step 2: Calculate the volume needed. 8200 ÷ 10,000 = 0.82 Rounded to the nearest tenth = 0.8 mL
