Question

The label reads heparin sodium 10 000 usp units/ml the order for heparin is 6000 u q6h sec

Answer 1

Answer:

0.6 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The label reads Heparin Sodium 10,000 USP Units/mL. The order is for Heparin 6,000 U q6h sc. How many milliliters will you administer to the patient per dose?

Now the label says

heparin sodium 10,000 Units for one ml

So for 6000 U it will be 6000 / 10000

                           = 0.6 millilitres.

So 0.6 ml will be administered to the patient for one dose.
