Heparin dosage calculations?!
Question: Heparin dosage calculations?
The order is for heparin 6500 units subcut now. The pharmacy sends 10,000units/ml in a multidose vial containing 4ml. How many mL will the patient receive per dose?
I got 0.65ml as my answer, however, do you round heparin? I can't remember the rule. I know insulin is rounded to the nearest whole number however, I am unsure of heparin. Please help :(
