Question

7. A physician orders Humulin R 45 units QS 100 mL NS to infuse at the rate of 4 units/h. a. What volume of the fluids should the patient receive in an hour? b. What volume of fluids should the patient receive in a minute? c. If the infusion set is 10 gtts/mL, what is the flow rate? d. What is the concentration of the insulin per milliliter?

Answer 1

ondend Humblin R - 45 units as 100 ml us to insure at the rate = 4 unit hour o 45 unite = 100 ml 1 unit 4 unit 25 1991 - low me - 100x 4 25 mi Hence -8-88 8.9 m/ Hence ine e effective on infusion Rate will be = 8.9 my volume of fluid patient will recieme in an hour -8.9 mi the volume of fluid the Patient c u becieve in a minute= 8.9 mi 60 b) (as thr=bomis) = 0,148 mi no.15 ml If infusion set is 10 g tts/m1 the flow rate will be=3 volume (ml) x drop factor := time (min) (atts/m) ir flow rate (9H/min) 8.9 x 10 = iv Howrate (gt1/min) 60 0115 x 10 = in flow rate (att/min; ir Howrate (t/min) = 1.5 t/min conch of insulin (m1 = 3 45 unit per 100 ml conch of insulin 100 = 045 unity
