ANSWER.
* Calculation of how many units per hour of IV needed.
Formula.
(units/hr) = Total dose (units) / Time(hr)
Ordered dose = 20 units/kg/hr.
Weight of the patient = 132 lbs.
Convert lbs value to kg
1 lbs = 0.45 kg.
So
weight of the patient = 132 * 0.45
= 59.9 kg
Units/hour required for this patient = 20 * 59.9
= 1198 units/hr.
