Final answer:
To administer the correct dose of 7,500 units of heparin sodium from a concentration of 8,000 units per mL, the nurse should give 0.9375 mL to the client.
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of this question is Mathematics, specifically it involves medical dosage calculations, which is a practical application of mathematical skills in the Health industry. The question asks how many milliliters (mL) of heparin sodium at a concentration of 8,000 units per mL should be administered to a client to provide a dose of 7,500 units. To solve this, we use the formula: Volume to administer (mL) = Desired dose (units) / Available concentration (units/mL). Considering the provided details, we calculate:
Volume = 7,500 units / 8,000 units/mL = 0.9375 mL
Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.9375 mL of heparin sodium to the client. It appears there was a typo in the selected answer provided by the student, as the correct answer is not 0.9 mL, but rather 0.9375 mL.
