Expert Solution

Ordered dose= 16units/kg/hour

= 16×56.4kg/hour

= 902.4units/hour

Available dose= 12500units

Available volume= 250ml

So required dose=( ordered dose/available dose)× volume

= (902.4units per hr/12500units)× 250ml

= 18.048ml/hour

Set the infusion pump at 18ml/hr approximately
