A nurse is administering IV insulin at 10 mL/hr. The available medication is 250 units of insulin/100 mL of Normal Saline. How many units/hr of Insulin is the patient receiving?

Expert Solution

Given data

Flow rate = 10 mL / hr

Concentration of medication = 250 units/ 100 mL

1 mL = 250/100= 0.25 units

10 mL contains = 0.25 x 10 = 2.5 units.

Or

Formula for dose calculation is

Desired dose/ dose in hand x quantity

Let us take desired dose as ' x'

X / 0.25 x 1 = 10

X = 0.25 x 10 = 2.5 units

The patient receives 2.5 units of insulin per hr.

A medication order calls for the following premixed IV fluid to be infused at 125 mL/hr. The maximum recommended rate of infusion for KCl through a peripheral line is 10mEq/hr. To check that this infusion which is running at a rate of 125 mL/hr is below the maximum recommended rate, calculate the infusion rate of KCl in mEq/hr. Please round the final answer to two decimal places, except no trailing zeros.
