The medication order reads 500 mL of D5W (also known as 5% dextrose in water) containing 30000 heparin units is to be infused at a rate of 11 mL per hour. How many heparin units per hour is the patient receiving?

Type hep units/hr in the units box.

Expert Solution

The equation used to calculate the number of hep units per hour when the rate of unfusion (mL/hr) is known is:

Now. Total number of heparin units = 30,000 hep units

Volume of D5W = 500 mL

Rate = 11 mL/hr

Plugging these values into the eqauation:

Therefore, the answer is 660 hep units/hr.
