bolus in units:
bolus in ml:
order: heparin 50 units/kg (max of 5000 units) and start infusion
at 20 units/kg/h
supply: heparin 25,000 units diluted in a 250 mL bag to give a
concentration of 100 units/mL
patient weight 135 lbs
1. calculate the heparin bolus to the nearest hundred?
mL
2. infusion rate in mL/h in whole number
An intravenous infusion contains 25,000 units of heparin in
250mL D5W. The rate of infusion was set at 15 units / kg /hr. The
patient weighs 160 pounds. Calculate the a) Concentration of
heparin, b) the length of time of infusion, c) the dose of heparin
administered to the patient on a unit/ min basis.
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)
A patient is ordered for Heparin 1,800 units/hr IV infusion.
Heparin is available in the following concentration: Heparin 25,000
units mixed in 250 mL D5W. Calculate the rate in mL/hr. _______
mL/hr.
1. A physician writes an order for Heparin to be 700 units/hr.
The IV bag label reads 20,000 units Heparin in 500 mL D5W (dextrose
5% water). How many ml/hr will deliver the correct dose?2. A patient is receiving 500 mL of an IV solution. How long
will it take to infuse the patient (give them the entire dose
intravenously) if the flow rate was set at 35 drops per minute and
the drop factor listed on the tubing is...
