order: heparin 6,000 units subcutaneous
available: heparin 10,000 units/ml
how many milliliters will the nurse administer?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the values

Let \(D = 6000\) units (desired dose), \(H=10000\) units (dose on hand), \(V = 1\) mL (volume on hand).

Step2: Use the formula \(A=\frac{D\times V}{H}\)

Substitute the values into the formula: \(A=\frac{6000\times1}{10000}\)

Step3: Calculate the value of \(A\)

\(A=\frac{6000}{10000}=0.6\)

Answer:

\(0.6\) mL
