I need help with dosage homework. Thank you!
At 0800 the client has a continuous heparin infusion running at 12 mL per hr. According to the hospital's heparin protocol, the heparin infusion should be increased by 100 units per hour each hour. The bag hanging contains heparin 40,000 units in D5W 250 mL. Calculate the new milliliter per hour flow rate for this heparin infusion. (Round to tenths).
40000 units in 250 ml.
100 units in 1/40000 * 250 = 1/160 ml= 0.006 ml
At 8 ,the flow rate was 12 ml/hour.
Every hour flow rate increases by 0.006 ml/hour.
The time for which the new flow rate has to be calculated is not mentioned. So it is not possible to calculate the new flow rate.

3. A continuous Heparin infusion for a 220 lb client is to begin per protocol. The number of units the client will receive is 10units/kg/hour. With 25,000 units of heparin in 500 mL NS, at what rate is the pump initially set? __________________________mL/hour (Round to whole number)
Use the following weight-based heparin protocol for question 6. (Round weight to the nearest tenth as indicated; IV pump is calibrated in whole mL/hr.) 1. Bolus with heparin at 80 units/kg. 2. Begin intravenous infusion of heparin at 18 units/kg/hr using 25,000 units heparin in 500 mL D5W for 50 units per mL. 3. Adjust intravenous heparin daily based on APTT results. • APTT less than 35 seconds: Rebolus with 80 units/kg and increase rate by 4 units/kg/hr. • APTT...

The cardiologist orders Ralph to receive heparin according to the following: 80 units/kg IVP once (this is called a bolus dose), then 18 units/kg/hr infusion. Ralph weighs 231 pounds. You have the following available to you: heparin 20,000 units in 250 mL D5W and 1-mL vials of heparin that is 5000 units/mL. How many mL will you bolus Ralph with? You’ll then set the infusion up on a pump; how many mL per hour will you set the pump rate?
