Question 1 of 5
A client who is scheduled for induction of labor receives a prescription for oxytocin 2 milliunits/min intravenously (IV). 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?
Correct Answer: 6 mL/hour
Rationale: Calculate concentration: 20 units = 20,000 milliunits in 1000 mL = 20 milliunits/mL. For 2 milliunits/min: 2 ÷ 20 = 0.1 mL/min. Convert to mL/hour: 0.1 × 60 = 6 mL/hour.
