Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing a heparin infusion for a client who was admitted to the facility with deep-vein thrombosis.The prescription reads: 25,000 units of heparin in 0.9% sodium chloride 250 mL to infuse at 800 units/hr. What should be the infusion pump rate?(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 8
Rationale: The correct answer is 8.
To calculate the infusion pump rate, divide the total units in the bag by the prescribed hourly rate. In this case, 25,000 units divided by 800 units/hr equals 31.25 hours. Since the bag contains 250 mL, the pump should be set to infuse 8 mL/hr (250 mL divided by 31.25 hours). This ensures the client receives the prescribed 800 units/hr.
Choice A: Incorrect. This choice is empty.
Choice B-G: Incorrect. These choices are empty.
Summary: The correct infusion pump rate for the heparin infusion is 8 mL/hr based on the prescribed dosage and volume in the bag. Other choices are incorrect as they are empty.
