Expert Solution

GIVEN DATA,

ML/H=40

TOTAL UNITS ORDERED= 20000

IV SOLUTION =1000 ML

APPLYING THE VALUES, TAKE 'X' AS THE UNITS/ HOUR

20000u/Xu = 1000ml/40 ml

so,

1000X=40(20000)

isolate X and solve:

1000X / 1000=800000/1000

WHILE DIVIDING BY 1000,

X=800000/1000

=800 UNITS/HOUR

HENCE WE PROVE THAT 800 HEPARIN UNITS ARE INFUSED PER HOUR
