Expert Solution

Answer:-6

Explanation:-

Given data:-

* Ordered insulin = 3units/hr

* Available insulin= 125 units of regular insulin in 250 ml

* Supplied is 125 units of regular insulin in 250 ml of NSS so this can be written as = 125 units/250 ml

* Set the pump at n ml/hr,so n=?

Hence

n= ordered insulin*Available insulin

Now we have to solve in ml/hr so

n= 3units/hr*250ml/125units

n=3/hr*2ml

n=6ml/hr

*You would set the pump at 6 ml/hr.
