Alonzo Rodriguez is a 56 year old male that presents to the ED
with a painful headache. The ER physician wants to start a blood
thinner treatment to prevent the formation of blood clots while the
patient is being admitted, and she orders a 75units/kg body weight
loading dose of Heparin. Alonzo weights 220lbs. The heparin you
currently stock in the pharmacy is 5000 units per ml. How many
units of heparin will Alonzo receive? What volume of Heparin 5000
units/ml will you draw up to administer the dose?
