When giving a Heparin bolus, and the vial is 10,000 units/10mL (1000units/mL concentration), and the bolus is to be for 4000units, would you not draw 4mL into a syringe and give it IVP? (This is the bolus that precedes an infusion with a bag that is of a 100unit/mL concentration.)
My preceptor told me that I was supposed to use a tuberculin/Heparin syringe and draw up 4 "units" and inject it subQ for the bolus.
