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

Step-by-step 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 =$\frac{1}{5000}\ ml$

Now, the volume of solution with 3500 units of heparin=$3500\times\frac{1}{5000}=\frac{7}{10}=0.7\ ml$

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