Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client is who has a deep vein thrombosis and is prescribed heparin by continuous IV infusion at 1,200 units/hr. Available is heparin 25,000 units in 500 mL DSW. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth/whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Correct Answer: 24

Rationale:
To calculate the IV pump rate, you'll need to use the formula: (Ordered amount of medication (units/hr) × Volume of fluid in mL) / Amount of medication in the volume = IV pump rate in mL/hr. For the given scenario, the ordered amount is 1,200 units/hr, the volume of fluid is 500 mL, and the amount of medication in the volume is 25,000 units. Plugging these numbers into the formula gives you: (1,200 units/hr × 500 mL) / 25,000 units = 24 mL/hr.
Therefore, the nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 24 mL/hr.
