Question 1 of 5
A client receives a prescription for oxytocin 2 milliunits/min intravenously (IV) for labor augmentation. The IV bag contains oxytocin 20 units in lactated Ringer's 1 liter. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump to deliver? (Enter numerical value only.)
Correct Answer: 6
Rationale: Concentration: 20 units = 20000 milliunits in 1000 mL = 20 milliunits/mL. Dose: 2 milliunits/min × 60 = 120 milliunits/hour. Volume = 120 / 20 = 6 mL/hour.
