What do you need help in doing? Do you have your drug calculation book to show you how to do this?

There's not enough info for the heparin question, but you should be able to do these on your own. In fact, you should be able to do the first one in your head.

You need to state how many ml there are in the heaprin.

[aiyah_d]

1 ml in heaprin

[Daytonite, BSN, RN]

1 ml in heaprin

The drug is HEPARIN not heaprin.
