A nurse is to administer prescribed heparin of 100 units/kg IV bolus before starting the heparine normogram. The client weighs 94 kg. how many units of heparin bolus should the nurse administer. available heparine dose is 1000 units/ml.
Desired dose = 100units/kg
Weight of patient = 94kg
So the dose to be administered by nurse to patient = 94 x 100 =
9400units.
Available dose = 1000units/ml
volume = 1ml
Dose = desired dose/available dose x volume
Dose = 9400/1000 x 1
Dose = 9.4 ml
