Expert Solution

Using the formula, D/H x Q

D=desired dose of drug=10milliunits

H=dose of drug in hand=30unit=30, 000milliunits

Q=total volume of fluid=500ml

D/H×Q=10milliunit/30000milliunit×500ml

Ml =0.166667

Multiply by 60 minutes

=0.166667×60

=10ml/hour

Ie 30 units of oxytocin in 500ml can infuse 10ml /hr.
