Question

8. The patient has an infusion of 10,000 units of heparin in 250 mL D5W infusing at 12 mL/hr. How many units are being delivered each hour?

Answer 1

Answer #1

The rate of infusion is 12 mL/hr

and each mL of infusion contains the number of units of heparin equal to

10000/250 = 40 units of heparin per mL.

Now, since the infusion rate is 12 mL/hr

So the number of unit per hour can be calculated as:

40 x 12 = 480 units

Therefore, 480 units of heparin are being delivered per hour.
