Question

17. From a vial of heparin with a concentration of 5,000 units/mL, how much in volume for a dose of 3500 units?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.7 ml

Explanation:

Given: The concentration of heparin in solution =5,000 units/mL

Thus, 5,000 units make 1 ml of the solution.

Then 1 units =
`(1)/(5000)\ ml`

Now, the volume of solution with 3500 units of heparin=
`3500*(1)/(5000)=(7)/(10)=0.7\ ml`

Hence, the volume of dose of 3500 units of vial of heparin= 0.7 mL
