Reference form the question:

Patients weight = 40 kg

Ordered dose = 0.1 units/kg/hr

= 0.1 x 40 x hour

= 4 units/hour.

 

 

Reference form the question:

Ordered dose: 4 units/hour

Available dose: 100 units in 500 ml

Formula:

= Ordered dose/available dose

=4 units/100 units x 500 ml

= 20 ml per hour.
