the nurse receives an order to infuse heparin 2200 units /hr.The IV bag contains 20000 units heparin in 500ml D5W.The IV tubing has a drop factor of 20 gtts/ml.Calculate the IV in drops per minute(gtts/min)

Expert Solution

Step 1 = 500 ml D5W Contains 20000 units

volume of D5W required to infuse 2200 units?

each ml of D5W contains 40 units of heparin

to infuse 2200 units of heparin per hour,55 ml D5W to be infused per hour.

Step 2 = Drops per minute = Number of points X Drop factor/Time(min)

55X20/60 = 18.34

Required IV Drops per minutes=18.34 gtts /min
