Question 1 of 5
A client recovering from a total hip replacement has developed a deep vein thrombosis. The health-care provider has ordered a continuous infusion of heparin, an anticoagulant, to infuse at 1,200 units per hour. The bag comes with 20,000 units of heparin in 500 mL of 0.9% normal saline. At what rate should the nurse set the pump?
Correct Answer: 30
Rationale: Concentration: 20,000 units ÷ 500 mL = 40 units/mL. Rate: 1200 units/hr ÷ 40 units/mL = 30 mL/hr.
