The prescribing clinician ordered Insulin continuous IV infusion to run at 9 mL/hr. The pharmacy dispensed Insulin 100 units/100 mL of 0.9% NaCL. Calculate how many units per hour are infusing.
In 1 hour, 9ml insulin is needed.
Available 100 unit in 100 ml.
So, 1ml means 1 unit of insulin.
So, 9ml means 9 units of insulin.
So, 9units of insulin should be infused in 1 hour.
