Expert Solution

Answer : Infusion rate = 9 L/hr

Infusion rate is calculated using the formula

Infusion rate(mL/hr) = Total volume(mL) / Time of infusion(hr)

Here, given that,

30 units of pitocin given over 20 minutes.

In standard dosage, 1 mL vial of pitocin consists of 10 U. Solution for infusion is made by adding 1 mL to 1000mL of 0.9% aqueous sodium chloride.

30 U -- 3 mL -- 3000 mL 0.9% NaCl

20 min = 20/60 = 1/3 hr

Infusion rate = 3000 mL / (1/3 hr) = 9000 mL/hr

Infusion rate = 9 L/hr
