Question

Ordered: Insulin 3 units/hr. Available: 125 units of Regular insulin mixed in 250ml NSS. You would set the pump at ____ ml/hr (answer only with a number)

Answer 1

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.

Answer:-6
