The physician orders heparin sodium 6000 units SQ. The pharmacy sends the following vial of heparin. How many mL will the patient receive per dose? (Round to the nearest tenth and label your answer.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["0.6"]

To calculate the amount of heparin sodium that the patient will receive per dose, we need to use the following formula:

mL per dose = (units ordered / units available) x mL available Plugging in the values from the question, we get:

mL per dose = (6000 / 10000) x 1 mL per dose = 0.6 x 1

mL per dose = 0.6

Therefore, the patient will receive 0.6 mL of heparin sodium per dose.
