Type your answer below
Explanation
Here's how to calculate the volume the nurse should administer: Concentration of epoetin alfa: 10,000 units/mL (given on the vial label) Prescribed dose: 8,200 units We need to find the volume (in mL) that contains the prescribed dose (8,200 units) of epoetin alfa. Dosage calculation: Volume to administer (mL) = Dose (units) / Concentration (units/mL) Volume to administer (mL) = 8,200 units / 10,000 units/mL Volume to administer (mL) = 0.82 mL (round to nearest tenth as requested) Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.8 mL.
