Order: Heparin​ 25,000 units in​ 1,000 mL​ 0.09% NS, infuse at 100​ mL/h.

Calculate the units per day to determine if the dose is within the normal daily range

​(20,000dash–​40,000

= 25000 units/1000 ml

= 25 units/ml

infused at 100​ mL/h.

= 25 x 100 units/ hr

= 25 x100 x 24 units per day (As there are 24 hours in a day)

= 60000 units

This is above the last limit 40,000 so it is not within the normal limits.

C. ​60,000 units/day is not within the normal daily range (Correct choice)
