12. Order: Infuse D5W 1,000 mL with 25,000 units of heparin at 100 mL/hr. What will the RN set the rate at in units/hr? _________________
Use DA to calculate the amount of heparin needed to prepare the
IV solutions, the heparin
flow rates (mL/hr), or hourly heparin dosages (units/hr) as
indicated below. Round all
doses to nearest tenth. A volumetric pump is used to deliver all
doses.
Rate of flow :--
Units/hr = (25000units x. 100 mL) / (1000mL x 1hr )
=2500 units /hr
