The physician orders epoetin 30,000 units subcutaneously for anemia. The medication is per the provided label on the supplemental exam sheet. How many milliliters will the nurse administer? SEE LABEL #1 for drug availability.

The correct answer is 1 mL. Step 1 is: Examine the medication label to determine the concentration of epoetin. The label indicates a concentration of 30,000 units per 1 mL. Step 2 is: Set up the calculation to find the volume needed by dividing the ordered dose by the concentration: 30,000 units ÷ (30,000 units/mL). Step 3 is: Perform the division: 30,000 ÷ 30,000 = 1. Step 4 is: The units cancel out, leaving the volume in milliliters: 1 mL. Final answer is 1 mL.
